The state government has declared no holiday for schools and colleges on Thursday in view of the all-India bandh call given by the BJP-led Opposition at the Centre to protest against the hike in diesel price.
The state government has declared no holiday for schools and colleges on Thursday in view of the all-India bandh call given by the BJP-led Opposition at the Centre to protest against the hike in diesel price.
With schools being asked to use their discretion and a few schools declaring a holiday, it would be the parents who would have to take a decision whether to send their children to school or not on Thursday.
According to the department of public instruction, a decision on whether schools will be asked to close or not will be taken on Thursday morning after assessing the situation. “(But) As of now, no holiday has been declared. We will take a call based on the situation on Thursday,” said SR Uma Shankar, commissioner for public instruction.
The department officials said as it would mean cutting it too close, the parents may take a decision and make arrangement for dropping and picking up their children, if need be.
Meanwhile, Delhi Public School’s 3 branches- North, South and East — will remain closed on Thursday due to the bandh. Bishop Cotton Boys’ School, too, had declared a holiday on Thursday. However, there was no confirmation about it from Bishop Cotton Girls’ School.
Education department officials have advised parents to call the offices of their children’s schools before sending them, if they so decided.
These measures would be important considering that Karnataka being a BJP-ruled state, there is all likelihood of the bandh being complete, and this could affect school children while en route to or from school as there has been no official order from the education department or the department of public instructions to schools to close down for the day.
