Madhya Pradesh: School owners of private unaided schools in Indore will approach the state education department and authorities of the state on Wednesday seeking permission to re-open schools for class 1st to class 8th.

School owners of private unaided schools in Indore will approach the state education department and authorities of the state on Wednesday seeking permission to re-open schools for class 1st to class 8th.

Private school operators are angry with the government for not opening primary and middle schools. Associations of private school owners affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) said that theatres have opened, coaching classes have also been allowed, and markets are already open.

“In such a situation, what problem is the government facing in opening the schools, at least once in a week?” Gopal Soni, association president, said.

He added that decision regarding opening primary and middle schools in Uttar Pradesh has been taken and it will start from September 1. “Bihar schools reopened on Monday for the students of Classes 1 to 8 in the state, with permissible 50 percent capacity in the classrooms. Students have started attending offline classes in schools from August 16,” Soni added.

If the MP government does not take a decision on this by August 25, then the school owners will stage a protest in Bhopal.

“We are still conducting classes for class 9 and class 10 once in a week; and class 11 and class 12 twice in a week,” Soni said. He added that with financial constraints, this situation is not survivable for most schools.

Covid-19 third wave between Sept and Oct

An expert panel, set up by an institute under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), has predicted a third wave of COVID-19 hitting the country anytime between September and October and suggested significantly ramping up vaccination pace.

The committee of experts, constituted by the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM), also said that children will have a similar risk as adults since paediatric facilities, doctors and equipment like ventilators, ambulances, etc. are nowhere close to what may be required in case a large number of children become infected.

The report, which has been submitted to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), observed that only around 7.6 percent (10.4 cr) people are fully vaccinated in India and if the current vaccination rate is not increased, India can witness six lakh cases per day in the next wave.
