Mangaluru Schools Extend Hours to Compensate for Rain Holidays
IN · Published Aug 9, 2026
Schools in Mangaluru, Karnataka, are implementing measures to address syllabus backlogs caused by repeated rain holidays.
These measures include holding extra classes, reducing time for non-core subjects like arts and general knowledge, and requesting full-day Saturday classes.

Impact & Risks

The frequent rain holidays have disrupted the academic calendar, leaving schools with limited time to complete the syllabus before first-term exams. This has led to increased pressure on both students and teachers to cover the curriculum through extended hours and additional classes. Delayed decisions on full-day Saturdays could further strain the education system, potentially affecting students' preparedness for exams.
