INDORE: City CBSE schools will be begin with three days a week conventional mode of classes for students of six to 12.
These classes will be called on alternate days while the students of six to eight will be called in 50 per cent capacity on three days, the students of classes nine to 12 will be called together for the remaining three alternate days.
“Even if only 10 per cent students of classes six to eight come, schools will conduct conventional mode of classes for three days and the remaining three days they will have online classes,” chairman of Indore Sahodaya School Complex, UK Jha told TOI.
Schools will not conduct assembly, or any sports activities during the classes in conventional mode and the span will also be comparatively less with only a small break in between.
Students will not be provided with any lunch facility as the duration of classes will be less and only the main subjects will be taken for conventional classes, he added.
Initially, many schools hadn’t been calling students of nine and 10 as the instructions were to call them only once a week.
Now that the students are to be called thrice a week, all the higher classes will also be called with half the capacity.
“Infrastructure for the schools will not be an issue as the pre-primary and primary classes are not being called. Moreover, even the middle school and high school students are to be called in 50 per cent capacity,” said Jha.
The school principals have decided to keep the bus facility optional for the students.
Besides the tuition fees, the city-based CBSE schools are planning to charge monthly bus fees which will not be mandatory.
“We will not be charging anything additional as there will be no mess or co-curricular activities during conventional mode. Moreover, the school will not be conducted six days a week in conventional manner,” said Jha.
