Education news: Delhi schools were directed to adhere to a minimum of 220 working days in an academic year, according to a circular from the Directorate of Education (DoE) issued on Monday (November 27). “As per section 19 of RTE Act-2009 and National Curriculum Framework for School Education 2023, it is mandatory for all the schools running under Directorate of Education to observe the minimum 220 working days in an academic year giving consideration to the notified lists of gazetted/restricted/local holidays for the calendar year (January to December),” the circular stated.
