Gurugram: Amid enrolment spike, classes in 2 shifts in Sanskriti schools?

GURUGRAM: The state education department has proposed classes in two shifts in Model Sanskriti Schools, where enrolment has increased in the current academic session, so that Covid norms are followed on campuses.
According to the education department, the enrolment has increased by over 28% in the 137 government-run Model Sanskriti senior secondary schools and nearly 17% in the 1,418 Model Sanskriti primary schools.
“The enrolment in all schools has shot up dramatically. We have recorded nearly 37,000 new admissions,” said a senior official with the education department.
The department plans to run the schools in total capacity from December 1. However, the present infrastructure in the schools is incapable of accommodating all the children amid the pandemic, compelling the department to propose two-shift classes.
“While it (increase in enrolment) is good news, it has brought forward the challenge of accommodating these many children following Covid norms. It is practically impossible to expand the physical infrastructure in such a short time,” he added.
The department has now written to the Central Board of Secondary Education about its proposal. After receiving a response from the board, the department would allow schools to move forward with classes in two shifts.
The department also has decided to waive off school fees for students from BPL families.
