School Holiday on October 12, 2026: State-Wise Closure Updates
School closure plans for Monday, October 12, 2026, vary by state. There is no nationwide school holiday announced for the date, but students in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are in scheduled Dasara breaks. In other regions, schools are generally expected to follow their regular timetable unless a local authority or individual school has issued a separate notice.
For parents checking whether schools are closed tomorrow, the key difference is between a state’s school vacation calendar and a public holiday observed by government offices. A school may be closed for a multi-day festival break even when October 12 is not a nationwide public holiday. Local weather, transport or district orders can also affect attendance arrangements.
