Commencing today (Monday, 21st September), until this weekend, there will be a five-day break in online classes for school students in Tamil Nadu. This break is mainly in order for the students to refresh themselves.
As per the information shared by the Tamil Nadu State School Education Minister K A Sengottaiyan, a brief vacation has been planned for the school students to help reduce their stress.
The minister observed:
"On normal occasions, students are provided quarterly and half-yearly holidays. But due to the Covid-19 pandemic, schools had to switch to the online mode of teaching. With Chief Minister E Palaniswmay’s consent, online classes and telecast of video lessons on television channels will not be conducted from 21 to 25 September."
At the same time, the Minister has ruled out shift-based classes when schools reopen across the State and said all the classes would start functioning simultaneously. He told reporters:
"All classes will start functioning simultaneously when schools reopen in the State. There will not be classes in the shift, as all the schools have adequate infrastructure."
