Goa’s School Showdowns!
Goa’s school year usually ends with a much-needed break but not this time.
The government planned to start the 2025-26 session on April 1, just days after final exams on March 28. After backlash from parents, officials may push it to April 7, but even that feels rushed.
Why the Stress?
Students barely get time to recover from exams before diving into a new syllabus. The scorching summer heat adds to the challenge, despite promises of shorter school hours.
The Bigger Picture
The government is aligning with the New Education Policy (NEP), but at what cost? Parents and students argue that reforms shouldn’t come at the expense of vacations. As this edition of GoUNMUTE reaches readers, the final decision may still be in the air. April 1 or 7, or June.
