Bihar education department reverses decision to cut holidays amid teachers' protests

The Bihar education department has withdrawn its decision to cut holidays from 23 to 11, following strong opposition from teachers' associations. The initial order, issued to compensate for academic losses, faced criticism, leading to statewide protests by teachers. They argued that teachers already exceeded the required workdays, making further reductions unacceptable. The government had aimed to standardize school calendars and increase instructional days but faced resistance. Teachers wore black ribbons on Teachers' Day as a mark of protest and planned further demonstrations.
