The state government of Odisha announced on Thursday that all schools in the region will resume their regular timetable starting from June 22nd. This decision was made after careful consideration of the current weather conditions and the forecast provided by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). The School and Mass Education department released a statement stating that schools will operate from 6:30am to 10:30am on June 21st due to the hot and humid weather expected.
It is worth noting that most schools had already reopened on June 17th and 18th after the summer break. However, the government decided to make a temporary change in the schedule for the safety and well-being of the students. Nityananda Gond, the Minister of School and Mass Education, had previously stated that any decisions regarding school reopening and timings would be reassessed based on the prevailing weather conditions.
He also emphasized that district collectors were given the authority to decide on school reopening or schedule changes for classes 1 to 12 in government, aided, and private schools. This decision would be based on the local weather conditions and the safety of the students. Gond further added that if the weather permits, morning classes can be conducted from 6:30am to 10:30am. He made these statements during a press conference with reporters.
According to the IMD, some districts in Odisha will continue to experience hot and humid weather until June 21st. However, there is hope for relief as the day temperatures are expected to decrease gradually by 2-3 degrees Celsius over the next three days. This is due to the advancement of the southwest monsoon across more parts of the state. With this promising forecast, the government is confident that schools can resume their regular schedule from June 22nd onwards. This decision will bring relief to students, teachers, and parents alike.
