Tuticorin: The school education department is in the process of getting schools in all states that are ready for grade 9 to 12 students from September 1, to conduct online classes for grade 1 to 8 and increase infrastructure in government schools that have recorded increased registration.
The Minister of School Education Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi told reporters in Tiruchendur in the district on Tuesday that students were depressed without going to school.
“We want children to go to school physically, starting with grade 9 to 12 after complicated discussions with health experts,” he said.
Mahesh said that the initial discussion of the standard operating procedure (SOP) was held in Chennai on Monday and will be completed in a few days.
By declaring that SOP was prepared last year when there was a discussion to reopen the school, he added they were being reviewed to check whether there was an improvement to do.
“This will be completed in one or two days and will be informed through major education officers,” he said.
He said that there was a complicated discussion about preparedness for the third wave.
DRAF Documents about the reducing of the syllabus for this year are ready and will be signed immediately and intimidated, he added.
The department equipped government schools with teachers and adequate classrooms because there was a surge in students who registered from private schools.
“We have 2,04,379 students who enroll in more than 40,000 government schools until last week because people are economically affected by the pandemic.
About 20 to 40 students are registered in many schools, while in several schools that have a power of 300 years ago have more than doubled to 700, “he said.
Recognizing that very few government school students have access to smart phones and only around 60% of students have network connectivity, he adds that they are in rural areas and tribes facing network problems.
He said that efforts were made through teachers to help them pursue learning and write.
Some teachers go to students, collect a handful of students from the area and educate them.
Students with cell phones are asked to share assessment questions with other people around them and get written answers.
“We are not 100% successful.
It will take time,” he added.
