: Midweek holidays offer a chance to break the routine
While some holidays don't form long weekends, midweek breaks like Vinayakar Chathurthi on August 27 and Ayutha Pooja and Vijaya Dasami on October 1 and 2 can be especially valuable for students.
These midweek holidays provide valuable mental resets during the intense stretch of school days. They offer opportunities for short trips or local family outings without disrupting the entire week, allowing students to recharge effectively. This break in routine can significantly boost their focus and motivation in the days that follow.
