Revised school timings due to cold weather
In response to the chilly weather, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has adjusted school timings for its 451 schools. Morning schools will now start at 7:55 AM instead of 7:30 AM. The new schedule, implemented at the request of parents, aims to protect students from the early-morning cold.
These revised timings will remain in place until the 15th of January, with corresponding adjustments made for afternoon shifts to ensure minimal disruption to students’ academic activities.
