The Odisha government has decided to shorten the summer vacation by a month to compensate for the learning loss due to COVID-19 pandemic in the State.
The decision has been taken in order to provide an additional month of teaching to students in government and aided schools across the State, said Bishnupada Sethi, School and Mass Education Secretary, on Saturday.
In order to make up for the learning loss, the Learning Recovery Plan (LRP) as envisaged by the Odisha School Education Programme Authority (OSEPA) would be implemented with existing teachers, Mr. Sethi said.
