The medium of instruction varies, with many schools teaching in English or regional languages. The education system follows a structured curriculum set by different boards, such as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE). In India, education is compulsory for children aged 6 to 14 years, as mandated by the Right to Education Act. Schools typically have a mix of academic subjects, including mathematics, science, and social studies, along with extracurricular activities. The school year usually runs from June to March, with summer vacations in April and May.
