Delhi schools will be closed on 10 August 2026 as per the latest announcement by the Education Department. Parents are advised to check official notifications for any changes.
The Delhi Education Department has officially announced that all schools in the capital will remain closed on 10 August 2026. The decision comes as part of the annual schedule of holidays issued by the government.
Parents and students are urged to verify the closure through the department’s official website or local school notices, as any last‑minute changes are unlikely but possible.
While the holiday is confirmed, the government has also issued a state‑wide heavy rainfall alert for the coming days. Authorities advise caution for commuters, though the weather is not expected to affect the school closure.
The announcement follows the standard practice of declaring a holiday on the day of the national flag ceremony, which falls on 10 August. Schools will resume regular classes on the next working day.
