In view of the increasing effects of extreme heat and heat wave in Bihar, the government has decided to provide relief to school children. The Education Department has issued an order and changed the timings of all government schools in the state. Now schools will run in the morning shift, so that children can be protected from the scorching heat of the afternoon. The new time table will be applicable from 6 April to 31 May. This decision will affect lakhs of students and teachers of the state.

What will be the new school time?
According to the state education department, now all government schools will open early in the morning. The new schedule is set as follows:
- Schools will open at 6:30 am
- Prayers and other activities from 6:30 to 7:00
- Study will start from 7:00
- Classes will run till 12:20 pm and then holiday
The timing for mid-day meal has been fixed from 9:00 am to 9:40 am. This order has been issued by Bihar Education Department and Secondary Education Directorate Bihar.
Separate system for schools with more children
The department has also said that in schools where the number of students is high, separate arrangements can be made to avoid crowding. In such schools, headmasters can decide to serve mid-day meals in two shifts, so that children do not have to stand in queues for long and the system can run smoothly.
Special powers given to DM
Summer conditions may vary from district to district. Keeping this in mind, the government has also given special powers to the District Magistrates. If the effect of heat or heat waves increases in any district, then the District Magistrate there can change the school timings at his level. This will help the local administration to take quick decisions according to the situation.
Time will change again after summer holidays
At present, this rule of morning shift will remain applicable only till the summer holidays. As soon as the summer holidays end and schools reopen, school timings will be restored as before. At that time schools will run from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. Instructions in this regard have been sent to all the District Education Officers (DEOs) of the state.
