Schools still out of bounds for children in Kodagu, DK
The Hindu
Their proximity to Kerala, which is seeing a high number of cases, is among the reasons for the delay
In Kodagu and Dakshina Kannada, two districts where the positivity rate is over and around 2%, and schools have not reopened, teachers are interacting with students in smaller groups, providing lesson plans and giving them worksheets to ensure that their learning is not hampered this academic year. V. Anbukumar, Commissioner for Public Instruction, said that teachers in the two districts were instructed to continue with online classes. He added that they were allowed to call students in groups (not more than five students) to school and give them advice or clarify their doubts. However, he added that the department was hoping that the COVID-19 situation would improve and schools would reopen soon. “We cannot start classes as we will have to comply with all the recommendations of the COVID-19 Technical Advisory Committee,” he said, adding that the department was not thinking of starting any special measures in these districts as this was a ‘temporary situation’.More Related News
