New Delhi : Delhi's Directorate of Education (DoE), in a circular on Monday, directed all schools under its jurisdiction to ensure a minimum of 220 working days in an academic year.
The directive, in accordance with Section 19 of the RTE Act-2009 and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education 2023, aims to uphold educational standards and aligns with the specified lists of gazetted, restricted, and local holidays for the calendar year (January to December).
