KOLKATA: Schools in Bengal are likely to reopen their campuses for pupils in classes IX to XII from February 12, state education minister Partha Chatterjee said on Tuesday. A decision on junior classes will be taken later. The government is likely to issue a detailed school reopening SOP on Wednesday.
The minister has also scheduled a meeting with vice-chancellors of various universities on Wednesday to decide when higher education campuses would open.
Tuesday’s announcement would be a relief to pupils, especially the several lakh who are set to take this year’s Class X and XII board exams. Bengal is the only state where schools haven’t yet reopened, in some form or the other, since the abrupt shutdown last March, at the start of the coronavirus-induced lockdown.
Calcutta Business School
Calcutta Business School, a part of Shikshayatan Foundation, has been reaching out to students through a series of webinars, virtual conferences and corporate talks, and acting as an interface to connect them to the corporate sector.
The series of webinars and around 20 virtual conferences were organised with two main objectives to give a sense of direction to the students during the pandemic and to build a bridge between academia and industry and create a clear visible roadmap for students to follow, who would be joining as a young workforce shortly.
The industry connect programmes saw stalwarts and corporate heavyweights such as Exide Industries deputy MD Subir Chakraborty, Sudip Datta, PwC senior partner and Pepsico director D.N. Sarkar encouraging students to be objective and advising them how to shine in their careers.
