The Gujarat government has announced July 23 as the new deadline for schools that wish to apply for class expansion. Applications must be submitted by this date to be considered for the upcoming academic year.
The Gujarat state government has issued a directive setting 23 July as the final date for schools that intend to apply for class expansion in the upcoming academic year. Schools that wish to increase their class strength must submit the required forms and supporting documents to the district education office by the stated deadline.
The decision follows a review of the previous cutoff, which many schools found too late for timely processing. By moving the deadline to 23 July, the education department aims to streamline approvals and ensure that additional seats become available before the new school year commences.
Officials have emphasized that applications received after the cutoff will not be considered, urging school administrators to act promptly. The move is part of a broader effort to improve capacity and reduce overcrowding in Gujarat’s public schools.
