Karnataka government panel stands by decision for offline lectures of Classes 10 & 12 from January 1
Bengaluru: The Technical Advisory Committee has stuck to its decision of reopening schools for class 10 and 12 students from January 1, taking a stand that postponing the reopening further would be a knee-jerk reaction in the wake of the new variant of SARS-CoV-2.
At a meeting on Tuesday, the committee pondered on whether or not regular classes should resume for classes 10 and 12. It decided that for now it is alright to resume offline classes, and that another decision cannot be made in a week.
Jayadeva Hospital director Dr CN Manjunath and part of TAC, said that “The situation is dynamic, and at present the number of cases in Karnataka and in India, except for Kerala and Maharashtra, are on a downward trend.”
With just over a week to go for the reopening of schools, TAC experts believe it is too soon to react to the new strain of the virus. The TAC took a month to come out with its recommendation after the education department announced in November that schools would remain closed for the entire month of December.
