Expert committee wants lower primary classes to reopen first in Karnataka -Tanu Kulkarni

However, government is keen on starting with high school and PU classes

Bengaluru: The expert committee established by the Department of Primary and Secondary Education to look into the reopening of schools wants all pre-primary and lower primary classes opened from August 2. Committee members have suggested that all classes on campus should resume at the earliest. However, a source in the committee said that if the government is keen on a phased reopening, then classes I to V should be prioritised.

“We have suggested that students in classes I to III should attend school in the morning, while those enrolled in classes IV and V can come to school in the afternoon. After a week, physical classes for students in classes VI to second pre-university can be reopened,” the source said.

The committee has suggested that classes on campus be held at least six days a week for three hours every day. “Classes should be held every day so that there is continuity in learning. Young children learn best through face-to-face interactions with adults and online learning should be the last resort,” the source added.

Schools with a low number of students can resume classes in full strength. But in cases where the number of students enrolled is high, classes have to be conducted in multiple batches. As schools will function for limited hours, homework material can be given to students, the committee has suggested.
