In view of the blockade and its effect on education, the Assam government is considering changes to the school calendar.

The schools session in Assam begins in January and ends in December, but starting this year the government plans to extend it to March as in other parts of the country and to start the next session from April.

“This year we are announcing the summer break for schools from May 1 to May 31 in view of the closure. Therefore, even if the closure is lifted after May 17, students do not have to go to school until the end of the month, “Assam education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Thursday.

He said that this year the results of the Class 10 and Class 12 dashboards will be announced in June and instead of hard copies, digitized report cards will be delivered to students online.

“Students can enter schools and universities using these digital marking sheets. The admission process will take place online. School and university authorities can verify the grade sheets from the official websites of the respective boards, ”said Sarma.

To assist state students who wish to return, the state government has decided to give Rs 5,000 each to students returning from West and South India, Rs 3,000 each to those returning from North India, and 2,000 rupees each to those returning from East India.

Those interested in returning can call 18003453525 or send an email to [email protected]. Financial aid will be given after students return to Assam.
