Parents in Hyderabad urge government to standardize school academic calendars

Parents in Hyderabad are calling for the government to standardize academic calendars across all schools. They argue that the current system forces them to apply for transfer certificates too early, often before knowing about available spots in other schools. Many parents are frustrated with schools that start their academic year in April, leading to additional costs for books and uniforms. They believe a uniform start date in June would ease financial burdens when transferring children to new schools. School managements defend their policies, stating they need advance notice of withdrawals to manage enrollment effectively. They argue that last-minute transfers can leave seats vacant, denying other students the chance to enroll.
