Parents who have been worried about having to send their children to school during coronavirus times can breathe a sigh of relief. The State Primary Education Department has decided against reopening schools at least till June 30. However, to ensure that academics does not suffer, Education department has decided to begin academics through home-learning mode from June 15.
Students will be provided textbooks from schools between June 8 and June 13. “The Education department will ready learning material to be shared via television channel DD Girnar. Students have to watch these academic classes and learning has to be ensured by teachers,” said Secretary (Primary and Secondary Education) Vinod Rao.
The audio-video learning material will be prepared by Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan for classes 3-5, GCERT for classes 6-8, and GSHSEB for classes 10-12.
RTE admissions delayed
What is surprising is that academic session for Class 1will commence without students from the Right to Education quota.
This will be the first year since Right to Education was instituted that admission process for kids from economically weaker sections have not commenced yet. This means that about 1.15 lakh poor students will be unbale to start academics with regular students.
Director (Primary Education) M I Joshi said government will hold RTE admission soon. “We will conduct special classes for them once admission gets over.
Most beneficiaries live in cities where Covid-19 is widespread. It is not safe to start RTE admission at this time. So we are planning its schedule.”
The Gujarat Education department has asked schools – primary, secondary and higher secondary- in the state to make provisions for home learning of its students.
It has said that as per the home ministry guidelines schools will remain closed for students till June 30 but they will have to ensure home learning for their respective students.
