Maharashtra schools reopen: Amidst the prevailing scenario of Covid-19, Maharashtra schools are all set to reopen district-wise from today January 24, 2022. The announcement was made by Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray where he announced the plan to reopen schools for all classes 1 to 12.
The final decision is yet to be taken by the local authorities, like district collectors considering the Covid-19 cases in their districts. Mumbai Schools are set to reopen from January 24, 2022, and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, BMC, has released the Mumbai School Reopening guidelines.
However, students attending offline classes must have a ‘Consent letter’ from their parents. Nashik schools are set to reopen from Monday for all classes from primary to class 12. Parents should make their own decisions regarding sending their children to schools and do so only if they feel it is safe to do so, said Maharashtra cabinet minister Aditya Thackrey on Sunday.
“Even though we are re-opening schools from tomorrow, it is not compulsory for students to come to school. Parents are free to make their own decisions in this regard and should send their children to school only if they feel it is safe,” said Thackrey.
Were shut last month after a spike in Covid-19 cases across the state. Following this, state health minister Rajesh Tope had said the decision to reopen schools was taken after complete thought was given to the issue.
“We have given a lot of flexibility and also stressed that following Covid-19 norms is a must,” the minister said, adding that parents must send their wards to school.
Tope said the opening of schools was necessary for the brain development of children and it was not right to keep them at home for long. The reopening of schools was a risk or middle path the state government decided upon to stop the spread of the virus as well as ensure children do not suffer.
