Noida: While the top government has directed schools with fewer students to conduct classes in one shift with a Covid security protocol in its place, this step has not been implemented in Gautam Budh Nagar.
This is because many schools hold a semi-annual exam for senior classes, while others are closed for the festival.
Large schools, however, were released from direction and continued to hold classes in two shifts.
“The state government has issued orders that direct all schools with fewer students to hold classes in one shift from 9am to 3pm, follow all Covid protocols.
In addition, the government has allowed greater schools with more students to continue Operates in two shifts 8:00 to 12 noon and then starting at 12:30 pm until 16:30, “said Dharamveer Singh, District Inspector (DIOS).
However, because most private schools are still running online classes with exceptions that currently hold a semi-annual exam for grade 9 to 12, the direction is not possible to be implemented until after Diwali.
Even then, it will submit to parental approval, which has not been received mostly in private schools.
“We will decide after Diwali in holding a single-shift class because currently the half-year exam is ongoing for grade 9 to 12.
On the other hand, junior schools have continued with online classes,” said Asha Prabhakar, Principal of Bal Bharti School, Sector 21 noida.
“We are very monitoring Covid Pandemic Government data and vaccination numbers in the District and NCR.
But the final decision on one shift after the festival will depend on the approval of the parent,” he said.
While Yatendra Kasana, President of the All Old Noida School Association (ANSPA), has suggested the waiting-and-watching situation, Manoj Kataria, the founder of the Society of Welfare (GPWS) of Gautam Budh Nagar (GPWS), disagreeing with the direction government, calling it “too early and at risk for children “.
“We all have to wait for the festival season before making such decisions.
It’s a rashrient on the government to start school at this stage.
Ideally, we have to wait for the children’s vaccine to come before taking it,” said Kasana.
Kataria, on the other hand, said, “I feel that online classes should not be stopped because people are still hesitant to send their wards to school, until class VIII.
Corona infection is not over.
There is also no sincerity in handling or following covid norms at school .
When school will operate in their full strength, the risk of spreading the coronavirus can increase.
