Overview
- The state government announced on Wednesday that all schools in Tamil Nadu will now reopen on June 4 for students in Classes 1 to 12.
- The change replaces an earlier staggered plan and applies to government, government‑aided, matriculation, and private schools across the state.
- Officials said the decision follows India Meteorological Department warnings about above‑normal temperatures and multiple requests from parents, teachers and political groups for a common date.
- The School Education Department ordered chief educational and district officers to complete checks on drinking water, sanitation, transport and overall campus readiness before reopening.
- Authorities warned further adjustments, such as modified school timings, could be considered if heat and humidity continue, and the move gives schools extra time to finish maintenance and safety work.
