Several frontline schools are in no rush to resume in-person classes before January.
St James School, Loreto House, St Xavier’s Collegiate School, Julien Day School Ganganagar are some of the institutions that have decided not to call students for classes now.
Modern High School for Girls will call students of IX and XI section-wise for practical classes only. Theory classes will continue online for now, a school official said.
Depending on the practical subject, a student will have to go to school for a maximum of two days in a week.
St Xavier’s Collegiate School has sent a notice to parents of Classes X and XII saying they can send their children to school for clearing doubts before the board exams.
“It is only a matter of a few days before the boards start. We do not want to bring all four classes together because it could lead to overcrowding,” said Aruna Gomes, principal, Loreto House.
La Martiniere for Boys will conduct classes for IX and XI till the ICSE and ISC semester 1 exams start.
St James’ School has decided to conduct online exams for IX and XI. “The semester 1 exam will be over in December and in January we plan to call the board examinees for remedial classes,” said Terence Ireland, principal of the school.
