The Tamil Nadu government announced that all schools across the state — government, government-aided, matriculation and private — will reopen uniformly on June 4 for the 2026-27 academic year.
Schools were earlier scheduled to reopen on June 1 for Classes 4–12 and on June 4 for Classes 1–3. The government shifted to a single date following requests from parents, teachers, and stakeholders seeking a common reopening date to avoid inconvenience for families with children in different standards.
CM Vijay held consultations with School Education Minister Rajmohan and senior Education Department officials, following which the uniform June 4 date was announced.
The government also cited prevailing weather conditions — pre-monsoon activity, intermittent rainfall, humidity and heat — expected during the first week of June as factors behind the decision.
As June 1 — the original reopening date — arrives without students returning to school, parents across Tamil Nadu are appreciating the CM's decision.
