The Bihar Education Department has restored half-day Saturdays in all government schools from August 8, bringing back an earlier practice. Schools will function from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm on weekdays, while Saturday classes will end by 1:00 pm. Separate dispersal timings have been fixed for primary and senior students under the revised schedule.

Computer education will soon become mandatory for students in Bihar schools. The state government is accelerating its push towards digital governance and technology. Artificial intelligence will help prepare development project estimates and cut costs. Ministers and legislators are urged to use social media effectively for public connection. Regular training in AI and computers is planned for officials and staff.
