Muscat: The Board of Directors, Indian Schools Oman has decided to reschedule the annual vacation for the staff and students of Indian Schools to December 2020 for a period of one month, in light of the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic and resultant lockdown.


The decision has been taken in order to optimize the academic year for maximum productivity while also ensuring maximum benefit to parents and students, offering better prospects for travel during the annual break, a press release said.


Consequently, the schools shall continue online classes during the months of June and July with a short term-break of one week from June 29 to July 2, 2020. However, there will be no online classes conducted during the Eid holidays.
