BENGALURU: Primary and secondary education minister S Suresh Kumar on Monday said a task force comprising subject experts and Covid technical advisory committee members will soon be formed to decide on the reopening of schools for on-campus learning.
Referring to the suggestions of a committee headed by Dr. Devi Shetty for decentralising the decision to reopen schools and allow districts to take a call, the minister said, “The task force will decide on when and how to reopen schools. It will also decide on Vidyagama 2.0 which people have been demanding.”
The minister said children’s “learning must be continuous and regularly evaluated — this is what the task force will consider”, adding the department will issue guidelines about the task force soon.
However, health minister K Sudhakar said he was not aware of any new task force to be formed. “For advising the government on Covid management, we have a technical advisory committee. Also, a high-level expert committee for the prevention and management of Covid Wave-3 was formed under the chairmanship of Dr. Devi Shetty and the committee has submitted its interim report. I am not aware of the education minister’s announcement on the new task force or the SSLC exam dates,” he said.
Suresh Kumar said the exam dates were discussed with the CM. The SOP was discussed at length with the chief secretary and officials of the health department.
Online classes will start from July 1 on DD Chandana and Deeksha portal. Makkalavani for younger children will also be aired. The teacher transfer process will start on June 30.
