After reports of Covid instances in students at two city-based schools surfaced recently, many schools in the city are under supervision.
According to sources in the state education department, there were other schools where children were found to be infected with Covid, but they did not report it to the appropriate authorities and attempted to cover it all up. As a result, according to insiders, the government is now keeping a close eye on certain of these schools.
A few kids from Nirma School in Chharodi and Udgam School in Thaltej recently tested positive, prompting the district education officer (DEO) to announce a one-week suspension of offline study.
“Some schools, including one in Bodakdev and another on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, have received reports about students testing positive for Covid. The government keeps a close eye on them “according to sources
In response to this, the All Gujarat Parents’ Association has written to education minister Jitu Vaghani.
The association has petitioned the minister to act and protect students’ health.
They’ve also asked for compensation in the event that kids at school test positive for Covid.
