150 schools not to have classes XI, XII Sanjeev Singh Bariana Tribune News Service Chandigarh, May 14
In a decision which could affect a number of government schools, DPI (Senior Secondary) Kamal Garg has ordered to discontinue Classes XI and XII in schools having less than 15 students in one class. Sources said the decision had been taken to identify surplus teachers. It would likely to affect more than 150 schools across the state. As per the orders, the schools have been asked to consider the student strength as on February 28 as the base. The orders state the class having a strength of 15 or more in a particular session or a collective strength of 25 or more in both years should be treated “healthy” else “dead group”. The teachers from the latter group will be transferred. The schools having “dead groups” have been told to get ready to shift their laboratory equipment to the new location as will be instructed by the department. The decision came as part of the ongoing drive to rationalise staff strength in schools. More than 130 schools with a student strength of less than 30 have already been closed. Another 130 schools each having less than 45 students have been asked to get more students or face closure.https://www.facebook.com/groups/163684310379513/
