Jaya village could be the first gram panchayat to open the school gates.
The much awaited decision of reopening of schools is here. The Maharashtra Government took a big decision of reopening schools in places where Covid-19 cases have not been reported for a month. In a statement, higher authorities said that schools can start schools from July 15 for classes 8 to 12 and conduct teaching in an offline mode.
Varsha Gaikwad, minister of school education department tweeted, “It has become a need of the hour to have a co-educational approach to reach out to the children of the last strata of the state.”
An eight-member committee comprising collectors, school principals, and health officials will be formed that will decide on Covid-free zones.
The minister also exhorted school managements to ensure that teaching and non-teaching staff gets vaccinated.
“It is mandatory for all to strictly abide by the Corona prevention rules laid down by the state government before starting school. Considering the possibility of a possible third wave, any kind of negligence will not be tolerated,” he added.
