There was a time when Summer Vacation meant a complete break from the monotony of classes, books and exams. Unfortunately, today they are mere extension of the regular school days. Extra Classes, Crash courses, Assignments etc seemed to have rubbed of the very excitement associated with Summer vacation.
If we cannot utilize the number of working days to deliver the course, no matter how many extra days we are given, we will not be able to finish it up. Competition will go on increasing demanding better performance, that doesn’t mean we need more and more classes or homework for that matter.
We only need a right approach to the whole process of Education. If our Education system sends out this message that every creative learning can wait and focus should be given only on bookish knowledge, then one is really confused what is Education all about.
Summer vacation should be the time for unbound learning so that after two three months a child feels refreshed, more confident, and has enhanced his/her creative skills.
It is the time when one can come to terms with real life situations and learn accordingly. Community development, Ecological awareness, Social awareness, Skill Enhancement and Practical Learning should be the center around which all programs for these vacations should be based.

summer holidays have lost its charm under the load of numerous assignments. learning should be fun so the school must ensure that the child really learns while making his project or assignment.
