The basic education department of Uttar Pradesh, India, has granted autonomy to government-run primary, upper primary, and composite schools to create their own timetables, as per guidelines issued on April 10 by Director General of School Education Monica Rani. This initiative aims to streamline academic activities and ensure timely syllabus completion for the 2026-27 session. Schools are required to prepare class-wise and subject-wise timetables based on teacher availability and curriculum needs, with each class period lasting 40 minutes. The guidelines mandate daily periods for language and mathematics in primary schools, while upper primary schools must include daily classes in mathematics, English, and science. A key aspect of the new directives is the incorporation of digital resources; for classes 6 to 8, at least one weekly period must focus on digital learning using the Khan Academy platform. Additionally, schools must allocate a 30-minute slot for mid-day meals and are required to display their timetables on notice boards for transparency.
