Teachers in Gujarat want morning shift in August too

AHMEDABAD: A group of primary schoolteachers has made representation to the state government for allowing schools to function only in morning shifts for the month of August as well.
Schools have re-opened for the new academic year from the month of June by way of online education. Keeping in view the Covid-19 pandemic situation, the schools are closed for on-campus education.
“The government has allowed primary schools to function in morning hours for the month of July. Looking at the current scenario, it seems online education will continue for the month of August as well. As a result, we have requested the government to allow primary education to continue in morning hours,” said a member of the State Primary Teachers’ Association.
The association has recently written to the Director of Primary Education in this regard.
The government had recently allowed opening schools for on-campus studies for Class 9 to Class 12 students. While attendance is not compulsory, the government has allowed only 50% attendance of students in schools.
