Private schools plan to restart classes on odd-even roll number basis, parents oppose decision
India, April 01, 2021 :
As schools are planning to resume offline classes for students on an odd-even roll number basis, parents are raising concerns regarding the same.
As the private schools plan to re-open offline classes on odd-even roll number rule, the parents cry foul as all the students including primary ones will have to sit for six hours during online classes during this time.
The schools are likely to reopen classes by mid-April, however, the Parent's Association claimed that the Covid-19 cases are rising and the students who are not willing to go to school for their own safety will have to sit online classes for a longer period of time.
Parents across the country are wary of sending their children to school in the current environment as the Covid-19 cases are on the rise once again and many states have taken the decision to shut down offline lessons for junior classes during this time.
Primary students in online classes
Many members of the Parents’ Association have also complained about how students of primary classes are being expected to attend online classes from home for a duration of six hours.
" Think about the children of the primary section, how will they participate in online classes, that will run simultaneously as offline ones, for full six hours.
How will these kids attend classes for six hours,” said Srivastava.
The schools have been allowed to reopen their premises and resume offline classes.
So far, only secondary classes were functional but now the schools are planning to operate all classes on an odd-even basis.
The attendance, however, will not be maintained for official purposes, those who are not coming to school will have to attend online classes, which will run from the classrooms with other students, for six hours.
Many schools have planned to go for a six-day-a-week system.
The Parents’ Association said they will take up the issue with the administration.
