Telangana Government Announces Half-Day Schedule for Schools Ahead of Caste Census
Hyderabad: In preparation for the upcoming caste census, the Telangana government has declared that all government primary schools (LB and aided) will operate on a half-day schedule starting November 6. Classes will run from 9 AM to 1 PM, with students being dismissed after receiving their mid-day meals.
This schedule adjustment is designed to facilitate the participation of over 80,000 personnel in the census, including 36,559 secondary grade teachers, 3,414 primary school headmasters, 6,256 staff from mandal resource centres, and 2,000 ministerial staff.
It is important to note that second-grade teachers in upper primary and high schools will be exempt from census duties, and those institutions will maintain their regular operating hours. This strategic move aims to ensure a smooth and efficient process for the census while continuing to provide essential services to students.
