NEW DELHI—December is shaping up to be a month of extended school holidays across much of North India. The confluence of the typical winter break, Christmas, and New Year’s Day will result in numerous school closures throughout the region.
Following a period of school closures in November due to poor air quality caused by Diwali and Chhath celebrations, schools in Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh are anticipating the December break. While some schools utilized online classes during the November closures, students are now looking forward to a well-deserved rest.
The winter vacation period typically begins in December, coinciding with a drop in temperatures across North India. The exact dates will vary by state and school, but the closures will encompass the Christmas holiday (December 25th) and New Year’s Day (December 31st). In many areas, the winter break will extend well into January, potentially lasting until the 12th or 14th. This extended closure means students will enjoy a significant break over the festive season and winter months.
