February 2026 is a busy academic month for school students, especially in Delhi. Schools usually run full schedules with regular classes, internal tests, pre-board exams, and syllabus revision. Unlike winter months, February has very few holidays, as most schools focus on exam preparation and practical assessments. (AI Generated Image)
December and January often include long winter breaks, but February is different. Schools use this time to complete courses and revise important topics. Even when festivals fall in February, many of them are on Sundays or apply only to certain states, so students rarely get extra days off. (AI Generated Image)
