All 40 government-approved 10+2 schools in English medium set up across Chhattisgarh as an alternative to expensive privately-run schools will be operational from the new academic session.
“All the 40 schools will adhere to the guidelines of Right to Education (RTE) Act,” Jitendra Shukla, Director Public Instruction, told the Pioneer.
The new academic session will start from July 15 and classes will initially run online, he said.
All staff will be appointed on contractual basis, added the Director. People on deputation can also serve in these schools.
In order to have better vigil, quality output and smooth functioning, all these schools will be governed by a separate School Management Society headed by the District Collector, Shukla added.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Chhattisgarh government is doing an experiment to have an alternative to expensive privately-run English Medium Schools, said another officer.
