Demand for the Chief Minister to open a school
The Principal Progressive Schools Association (PPSA) has demanded the Chief Minister to open schools for classes five to 9 and class 11. The association has also sent a letter in this regard to Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat and education minister Arvind Pandey.
Association President Prem Kashyap said that the letter has demanded from the government that orders should be made to open schools soon for the rest of the classrooms. Now the effect of corona is starting to decrease and the vaccine is about to come. Therefore schools should be opened. In such a situation, if this session becomes zero, then those children will be lagging behind in terms of knowledge.
