Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh School Education Department has cancelled the winter vacations for schools from December 26 to December 31 and has asked the authorities concerned to continue with the teaching session.

The MP government had announced the closure of schools in March due to spread of COVID-19. It reopened schools for Classes 10 and 12 from December 18 keeping in mind the upcoming CBSE board and local board exams in 2021.
