The Education Times has confirmed that schools nationwide will remain closed on Monday, 2 November. The day coincides with the national observance of Gandhi Jayanti, prompting many state education boards to declare a holiday for students and staff.
To help families plan, the portal has compiled a state-wise list indicating which regions have officially announced the closure. While most states have aligned with the national holiday, a few may follow separate academic calendars, making the detailed schedule essential for local communities.
Parents are advised to consult the Education Times’ update page or contact their respective school authorities for the exact status in their area. The information aims to reduce confusion and ensure that students and teachers are aware of the day's schedule ahead of time.
The holiday provides a brief respite for students and educators before the regular academic routine resumes later in the week. Authorities encourage the use of this break for civic activities or reflective learning aligned with the spirit of Gandhi Jayanti.
