Uttarakhand schools reopen for students of Classes VI to IX & XI
Representative Image DEHRADUN: Schools in Uttarakhand have been reopened for the students of Classes VI to IX and XI earlier this week. The state education department had issued fresh SOP’s before the reopening of the schools for the above classes. However, attendance in private schools remained low, but the scenario at government schools was a bit better.
According to parents, it’s still quite risky to send their children to school. They said private school students have better access to online education as compared to the students of government schools.
Members of Principals Progressive Schools’ Association, a body of private schools, said the government has taken the right decision by reopening the schools for the students of non-board classes. “Reopening the schools is a right step forward with our lives gradually returning to normal. Besides, in a ruling, the Supreme Court has also asked the schools in Rajasthan to charge the fees the same way they had charged the last year in six installments. We will also approach the state education department with a request to apply the SC ruling in our state as well,” said Prem Kashyap, president of PPSA.
Notably, the education department had approved the reopening of the schools for the students of Classes X and XII in November last.
