cases in the city, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Cororation on Tuesday asked schools to discontinue 50 per cent rotational attendance for teachers and other staff from March 17, a senior official said.
Instead, schools should ask all the teachers to take their classes under the 'Work from Home' pattern using e- learning and online platforms till further orders, the education department of the BMC said.
Earlier, from November 18, the civic body had allowed 50 per cent of teachers and non-teaching staff to attend the schools on rotation basis for online, offline classes and other work.
The latest circular said school principals and management can call one teacher and non-teaching staff to the school if there is any important work.
