  "summary": "The School Education Department of Madhya Pradesh has issued a directive to teachers, instructing them to complete the syllabus for the 2026-27 academic session by January 31. This is ahead of their deployment for the second phase of Census duties, which are scheduled to commence on February 1 and continue through the first week of March. The directive was issued by the State Education Centre to all district education officers and district project coordinators, with the aim of ensuring that academic work is not affected during the Census period. As of now, schools are reportedly around 50% through the syllabus, with the pace of teaching varying across institutions. The department has emphasized the crucial role teachers play in ensuring academic continuity and has asked officials to take necessary action to meet the deadline and complete the prescribed curriculum.",
