The Bihar Education Department announces that half-day Saturdays will be restored in all government schools starting August 8. The department brings back an earlier practice following a period when the schedule had been changed. Under the revised timetable, regular classes on weekdays continue with school hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. On Saturdays, classes end earlier at 1:00 p.m. The department also sets separate dispersal timings for different student groups, with separate time slots for primary and senior students to complete their school hours under the half-day format. The announcement applies across government schools in Bihar, aligning Saturday operations with the shortened schedule while maintaining standard weekday timings.
