Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas to reopen in phased manner for Classes 10, 12
For classes 10 and 12, only those students will be allowed to attend the classes who will have written consent from the parents.
The Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) are all set to begin the offline classes starting with students of Classes 10 and 12. The Ministry of Education has directed the schools to strictly follow the directions of state administration. Classes will be allowed to be operated only where the state government has allowed schools to reopen.
For classes 10 and 12 too, only those students will be allowed to attend the classes who will have written consent from the parents. For students who are not allowed by parents or state authorities and those studying in classes other than 10th and 12th will continue studying online.
For the rest of the classes, “directions will be given shortly in respect of other classes based on the availability of accommodation and devices to students,” states the ministry.
COVID-19 protocols including sanitisation of the JNVs, arrangements for classes and the hostels for students to stay with social distancing and preparation of COVD-19 management protocol to meet the emergency situations etc. have already been taken care by the JNVs, the ministry said.
“On the basis of SOP of Ministry of Education, every school has also prepared its own SOP based on SOP of State Government and in consultation with District Administration for effective management of COVID situation by constituting task force. JNVs are well prepared to manage physical classes for the students for whom consent of the parent is available. In respect of other students, online classes will continue to avoid academic loss,” the official statement by the ministry read.
Being a residential school, wearing masks, maintaining social distance, frequent hand washing, and sanitisation will be mandatory.
JNVs were closed in mid-March 2020 owing to the coronavirus outbreak in the country.
