NASHIK: The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has issued instructions to all civic and private schools in the city to ensure that their teachers are vaccinated by September 5.
NMC officials said that the principals of these educational institutes have to give their feedback after September 5. TheMaharashtra government wants complete vaccination of the teachers before the schools can resume physically.
In the rural areas, some schools have started holding physical classes for students from VII to XII in villages that have not reported any Covid case for the past 30 days. But schools have still not reopened physically in the NMC limits.
The state government has already directed that the teachers from Std I to XII be vaccinated at the earliest.
“We have set the deadline of September 5 for the teachers to get vaccinated. They are needed to get at least the first shot of the vaccine by the deadline,” said Sunita Dhangar, education officer of the NMC.
“We have already asked all the education institutes across the city to send vaccination details about the teachers teaching classes from Std Ist to XII. We are expecting the details from the school principals by September 7,” said Dhangar.
She added that they would serve show-cause notices to those teachers, who have not yet got the first jab at least by September 5.
When asked, she said it is difficult to inform about the exact percentage of vaccination of teachers until they get details from all schools in the city.
