Rajkot: Private School Rajkot has decided to shift students, whose parents are not fully vaccinated against Covid-19, to online classes from offline learning.
This, the school authorities said, is an effort to make parents take a vaccine dose to improve their children.
There are more than 400 private schools in Rajkot City.
DV Mehta, the owner of one of the leading schools said, “We do not want to punish a child because of the negligence of their parents.
We do not want children to suffer from their parents.
But to vaccinate all people is the collective responsibility of the community.
This drive is a message for 10% of parents who are still not fully vaccinated.
“Meanwhile, vaccination for students aged 15 to 18 will begin from January 3.
All schools will join the vaccination program to be held at the school.
According to Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) there are 80,000 children falling in this age group in Rajkot.
Vaccination will be held in 350 schools and colleges in the city.
