Surat: Offline teaching started in a number of city schools for Class IX-XI under Covid-19 guidelines with 50% capacity from Monday. Sources said that about 75% of the students who had submitted their parents’ consent letters attended the classes in schools run by the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB).
The students were strictly told to adhere to Covid-19 guidelines like wearing a face mask, sanitizing hands and maintaining social distance.
“I enjoyed meeting classmates in the classroom after almost a year. Attending a class offline after such a long time was fantastic,” said Daksh Ambaliya, a Class XI (commerce) student from Ashadeep School.
VNSGU started disaffiliation of eight colleges of which five are run by the SES, one by the Vanita Vishram Trust and two from Bardoli are associated with trust that runs Uka Tarsadia University
SURAT: Future of some of the oldest colleges of south Gujarat run by Sarvajanik Education Society (SES) hangs in balance as there is uncertainty over which university they would be affiliated to. Currently, these colleges are affiliated with Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) ever since they came into existence.
Now, with the formation of Sarvajanik University of SES, these colleges are gradually being disaffiliated by VNSGU as per government guidelines. However, the Sarvajanik University is not ready to give affiliation to these colleges without clarity on the issue of grants for salary and perks.
