Std 1st to 4th schools will start from 11th November 2021

The decision is made! The first to fourth schools are starting on November 11.
It is feared that the closure of the school will weaken the foundation of students’ education, so it will be decided to start the school from class five to class twelve to class one to four.

Corona (Covid 19) has deprived millions of students of a sudden start to online education.
Many people stopped learning online after a certain period of time. Fearing that the closure of the school would weaken the educational base of the students, it was decided to start schools from class five to class twelve.

The second wave of the corona is now receding and in the 15 days from October 1 to 15, the number of corona patients across the state has risen to 32,319. On the other hand, more than 50,000 patients have been cured of the corona. The death toll has also dropped as a campaign to vaccinate against corona continues. Corona cases are under control in all districts except Mumbai Municipal Corporation, Nagar, Pune, Solapur, and Satara districts.

Currently, eighth to twelfth-grade offline schools have started in urban areas and fifth to twelfth-grade schools have started in rural areas. About 45,000 schools have been started in the state and 6.5 million students are going to school daily. Schools are run in strict compliance with the rules regarding Corona. On the other hand, schools from 1st to 4th are not currently open.

Still, millions of urban-rural students, especially those who do not have Android mobiles, are being taught offline following Corona’s rules. Classes I to IV will now be started along the same lines. On the other hand, restrictions on schools in the city will be erased and all schools in the Coronamukt wards will be reopened.

Primary education officials have also been instructed to start cleaning these schools.

Schools from 1st to 4th are planned to start after Diwali. The government will take a final decision in a few days after reviewing the existing secondary schools and their students.
