The government has asked schools to further strengthen the online mode of teaching-learning through e-content, which has been developed by the state and central governments.
Uttar Pradesh government has directed the schools in the state to resume online classes from May 20 for Classes 9 to 12. On May 10, the state government extended the closure of schools till May 20 and cancelled online classes, in view of the second wave of COVID-19.
Now, with the number of COVID-19 cases is decreasing, it has been decided to resume classes, a government order said. District School Inspectors will ensure the smooth functioning of the online classes, it added. School principals will make arrangements for online teaching-learning in such a way that teachers can work from their homes for most of the academic work, it said. The government has asked schools to further strengthen the online mode of teaching-learning through e-content, which has been developed by the state and central governments.
Teachers who have been infected with COVID-19, or suffering from post-COVID symptoms have been asked to inform school principals so that the online classes can run uninterrupted. Similarly, COVID-positive students, or students with a COVID-positive family member should not be forced to attend online classes, the statement added.
Meanwhile, the Uttar Pradesh Board is likely to further postpone the board examinations for classes 10 and 12. Earlier, UPMSP had announced that its decision to postpone the UP Board 10th and UP Board 12th examinations till May 20. The decision will be based on the prevailing circumstances due to surging COVID cases.
Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) Secretary Divya Kant Shukla recently clarified that a revised date sheet that is being circulated on WhatsApp is fake.
“It is informed that the high school (Class 10) and intermediate (Class 12) examinations date sheet of the year 2021 was being circulated on WhatsApp dated 17-5-2021 which says that examinations will be held from 05 June 2021 to 25 June 2021. This timetable is absolutely fake. FIR will be registered against those who have circulated this fake news,” the Board Secretary said.
