With old school closed, edu dept seeks opinion of parents for shifting to another

Nagpur: Since the management of Guru Nanak High School has decided to close its aided institution in Bezonbagh, the education department is seeking the opinion of parents whether they wish to shift to another school in Mahal. As per the rules, whenever an aided school shuts down, the education department is responsible to accommodate all affected students in nearby schools.
On Monday, the office of the Deputy Director of Education (DDE) issued a statement saying parents may choose to get their child admitted to DD Nagar School in Mahal. Parents have to mention their willingness or refusal by email (dydnagpur@rediffmail.com) or through WhatsApp (8669171335). Parents have to reply with their child’s name, class he/she will enter in the 2020-21 academic session and finally, whether they wish to shift to DD Nagar School.
This is applicable for students now entering Std II-X and XII. Though approximately 3,000 students are studying in these classes, only half are expected to shift. TOI has learnt that over a thousand parents have expressed their willingness to continue in the new unaided format of the school which is expected to start soon.
It’s expected that the fee for the new format is likely to be around 12,000 per year, which is less than even most budget schools.
