GANDHINAGAR: The government of Gujarat has initiated discussions with school managements of the state to begin the academic year by June end with stringent social distancing and hygiene measures in place.
However, the government is yet to open a dialogue with parents’ bodies.
A key source in the state education department confirmed that discussions have begun between the government, GCERT, teacher’s bodies and school authorities on when the academic year in schools can be initiated.
“We have proposed the idea of running schools in two shifts to ensure social distancing, running schools on an odd-even pattern, making masks compulsory, changes in the syllabus, regular sanitization of schools and even holding online sessions to whatever extent possible,” sources in the government said.
