The delay was endorsed and passed by the HCC Executive last week.

In a statement issued by the HCC management, the reason is the delay in recruitment of school bursars with the late release of student lists to schools in the city.

The delay will allow officials to complete the recruitment process of shortlisting candidates and interviews for the school bursars.

Also, it will allow students to do their admission and registration in their respective schools, following the late release of students' results.

All schools throughout the country have started their academic year on 25th January 2021.
