Karnataka government to resume Vidyagama programme in revised format
The Karnataka government Tuesday decided to resume the Vidyagama programme in a revised format with classes scheduled to be held on campuses also involving aided and unaided schools apart from government schools in the city.
Announcing the same, Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar said students will be divided into smaller groups of 15 to 20 considering the number of teachers and classrooms available in each school. “Students will be allowed to come to schools for half a day with parental consent. Following Covid-19 guidelines including wearing a mask, sanitising hands frequently, and being subjected to thermal scanning will be followed at all schools. Any student with fever, cough, cold and other symptoms of Covid-19 will not be allowed,” Kumar explained.
Further, he added that students will be advised to bring drinking water from home. Arrangements to wash hands with soap and sanitiser should also be made at schools before allowing the students in. Timetables will be set with three classes of 45 minutes each.
