Schools in Gujarat will reopen on June 13, the education department has clarified, quashing rumours of delays.
Recent reports in certain sections of the media stated that schools would delay reopening until they received no-objection certificates from the fire department. While some district education offices have asked schools to declare compliance with fire safety regulations, the department has clarified it has not issued any directions or notifications on this matter.
Officials have confirmed to Gujarat Samachar Digital that if any local authority or municipal corporation or municipality has sealed any school building, it is up to that authority to provide alternatives to the school so as to avoid disrupting students’ education.
