Why are Holidays Important for School Students?
CBSE student holidays are very important for their academic life and creativity to remain intact.
- Vacations give students a chance to relax and rejuvenate. Students deserve some downtime after months of studying, homework, quizzes, and projects.
- Student learning and development are aided by time off. On break, students can spend more time doing things they enjoy, such as reading, writing, painting, making music, playing sports, etc.
- Students benefit from taking breaks throughout the year. Students have the opportunity to stretch themselves and try something new during the break. They can make plans and take action to achieve those plans, whether those plans involve gaining knowledge, accomplishing a task, or helping others.
