The Andhra Pradesh (AP) government releases a school holiday calendar annually. This calendar lists mandatory holidays observed by all schools in the state. The calendar includes holidays for festivals, national events, and other important occasions. Additionally, schools may declare optional holidays based on their own discretion. To determine if today is a holiday, refer to the official AP School Holiday Calendar for the current academic year. This calendar is typically released by the General Administration Department of Andhra Pradesh.
The academic year is planned around these holidays, allowing teachers to effectively cover the syllabus and students to utilize their time off for learning enrichment. Knowing holiday schedules in advance helps with planning educational activities like projects, excursions, and workshops.
The official 2024-2025 AP School Holiday Calendar includes holidays like Bhogi, Makar Sankranti, Kanuma, Republic Day, Maha Shivratri, Holi, Good Friday, Ugadi, Eid-Ul-Fitr, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s Birthday, Sri Rama Navami, Bakrid, Muharram, Independence Day, Shri Krishna Janmashtami, Vinayaka Chavithi, Milad-un-Nabi, Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, Durgastami, Dussehra, Diwali, and Christmas.
The government also designates summer vacations, providing a break from the heat. For 2024, summer vacations in AP were extended until June 11th.
In addition to these mandated holidays, schools in AP can choose to observe optional holidays. The list of optional holidays for 2024 includes New Year’s Day, birthdays of religious figures, and other culturally significant days. Whether a school chooses to close for these optional holidays is at their discretion.
