The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has given permission to private as public schools to re-open classes for standard 8-12. Additionally, parents of more than 60% of students have also given their consent to send their child for physical classes that have started from Monday, yesterday.
A BMC official from the department of education has said, “The overall picture is that around 60% of the parents are ready to give their consent in writing to the school that will make their children eligible for offline classes. The written consent is at a different stage and the system is expected to streamline within the next 15 days, considering it is a soft start from Monday.”
The official also added, “Several parents are not ready to send their children as festivals are coming and maybe they have gone to their native place due to online classes. However, we will continue ensuring maximum students take advantage of offline classes.”
