Students of 179 government primary schools in Kutch district are set to be shifted to other schools as the state education department has ordered the closure of upper primary sections of schools with less than 20 students, and shift the students to other schools with higher enrolments.

JP Prajapati, district primary education officer (DPEO) of Kutch said, “We have identified 179 schools where upper primary sections will have to close down and shift their students to nearby other government schools. A government circular has directed us to initiate this process from November 3 and complete it by November 30. Accordingly, we have instructed the main teachers of respective upper primary schools to complete this process,”

This move will affect students from remote villages in 9 out of 10 talukas of Kutch.
