The District Basic Education Officer (BSA) of Gautam Buddh Nagar has directed all schools in the district to operate from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM to protect students from exposure to high daytime temperatures. The order applies to government, government-aided, recognised, CBSE, ICSE, Madrasa and all other board-affiliated schools.
New school timings in Noida and Greater Noida
Under the revised arrangement, schools catering to students from Classes 1 to 8 must conduct classes only during morning hours. Educational institutions have been instructed to strictly comply with the directive and continue following the revised schedule until fresh instructions are issued by the district administration.
Authorities said the move was taken as temperatures continue to remain high across the region, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses among children.
Why were school timings changed?
The district administration stated that the revised timings are aimed at reducing students' exposure to extreme heat during the afternoon. By limiting school operations to the cooler morning hours, officials hope to ensure the safety and well-being of children as hot weather conditions persist.
