Karnataka CM declares mid-term holiday for schools till Oct 30

Bengaluru, Oct 11 (UNI) Schools in Karnataka, which is yet to be re-opened due to Corona in the State, will have mid-term holiday for three weeks from October 12 after several teachers contracted Covid-19, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said on Sunday.
“I have observed through media reports that several teachers have been infected with Covid-19. So, in the interest of the health of both students and teachers, I have directed officials to issue an order declaring a three-week interim holiday for schools from October 12 to October 30,” he added in a statement issued here on Sunday.
The Chief Minister has greeted all the teachers and students in advance for Dasara. Mr Yediyurappa pointed out that the government had already decided not to reopen schools and suspend the Vidyagama outreach programme.
Earlier, JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy criticised the State government for cancelling the midterm holidays. “In spite of the Covid-19 pandemic, teachers from government and private schools are going to schools to work. Government school teachers continue to work on Covid-19 duty and Vidyagama. By cancelling the midterm holidays, the government has ill-treated teachers,” Kumaraswamy said in a series of tweets.
Mr Kumaraswamy said the government had cancelled the midterm holidays that were scheduled from October 3-26. “On what basis was the midterm holiday cancelled? Children aren’t coming to schools due to Covid-19, but teachers are being made to go to school for other works. What is the government trying to achieve?” he had asked.
