According to the directive, students are expected to wear appropriate and comfortable attire suitable for the prevailing weather. School authorities have been advised to ensure that the relaxation is implemented in a manner that maintains discipline and decorum within educational institutions.
The decision comes as several parts of the state continue to experience high temperatures, prompting authorities to take measures aimed at safeguarding students from heat-related discomfort. By easing uniform requirements, the education department seeks to create a more conducive learning environment during the ongoing heatwave.
Officials reiterated that the relaxation applies to all government and private schools under the jurisdiction of Kamrup district. The temporary measure is expected to remain in effect in accordance with prevailing weather conditions and any further directions issued by the authorities.
The move has been welcomed as a practical step to address the challenges posed by the heatwave while ensuring that students can continue attending classes in a comfortable and safe environment.
