The state government has approved this proposal.”
Unlike last year this year reopening of the schools has been delayed due to COVID 19(Corona) virus pandemic.
Since there has been a significant delay in reopening of schools, the government wants to ease the burden on students, so the syllabus is reduced by 25%, said Education minister Varsha Gaikwad in her statement.
