Mangalore, May 30, 2013: Schools, both private and government, across Dakshina Kannada district re-opened on May 30, Thursday after a two month long summer vacation.

Children clad in uniforms and with new school bags  on the back, are  back in school  with memories of  fun-filled holidays behind them.

 

Though school will officially begin classes on June 1, the Education Department has directed school heads to re-open schools on May 30 itself to make necessary arrangements to hold classes.

This time, the Education Department seems  to have ensured that text books were available to students on time. Some private schools distributed the text  books on the re-opening day itself. It is learnt, there is a demand for over 7.5 lakh textbooks in Dakshina Kannada.

Shops selling stationery, uniforms and other learning materials are seen overcrowded with parents and children busy shopping  for school essentials.
