Nagpur: The School Pan-Maharashtra Association has decided to reopen from 17 or January 27, in facing government guidelines, to highlight their concerns over learning through virtual mode.
Maharashtra English Schools Trustees Association (Mesta) has asked all of its members to prepare ‘power shows’.
Sanjay Tayde-Patil, President Mesta said, “The government makes a decision that is suspected based on advice from the task force.
We want to believe that this task force can consist of experts from the field of education or seek advice from them before deciding the guidelines for school.
Now, academics The famous Maharashtra supports the reopening, but the school has been closed.
“Mesta’s attitude is that online education works on elitist bias.
“Children from a bad socio-economic background have become the worst blow because they are unable to buy smartphones, or even if someone donates it, unable to recharge regularly,” Tayde-Patil said.
Other academics have also supported the steps quoted by ‘learning inequality’.
Khemraj Conde, Head of Vidarbha Maharashtra Rajya Rashtravadi Shikshak Sadak, “even exceeded learning inequality, there was no logic to stay closed.
Students do not come to school does not mean that they all sit at home.
Children travel with their parents, attending weddings , restaurants, resorts etc.
When everything is open, what logic turns off school.
“The conde said in Vidarbha he coordinated with schools to reopen from January 27.
The Zilla Parishad school teacher from Gadchiroli said their students were the biggest ‘victims’ from the closing of the school.
“There is no other word to describe this.
Our students are indeed victims, because someone who sits in the Cabin AC in Mumbai has decided what is best for a student who lives more than 1,000 kilometers away in a remote Gadchiroli,” said the teacher, who did not Want to be identified as a government employee.
“If our students don’t come to school, they will not learn.
That simple teacher.
So while Mesta and its members took an aggressive attitude from supporting the school, the others had decided to take the middle ground.
Sachin Kalbande, President of the RTE Foundation, said, “We have given a memorandum to the authorities asking them to reconsider their school closing orders.
What we do is deny education for those who come from poor socio-economic conditions.”
