Private schools reopen, cock a snook at government

Hyderabad: A student's tweet to TRS working president KT Rama Rao has exposed the brazen attitude of some schools which do not care about the directions of the State government.

It may be mentioned here that the State government had earlier deferred the date of the reopening of the schools from June 1 to June 12.

Accordingly, the State Education Secretary Dr B Janardhan Reddy directed the Commissioner of the School Education Department informing the change of the date of the reopening of schools after the summer vacation and ensure its implementation.

The State government's decision had come against the backdrop of the rise in the death toll due to prevailing heatwave conditions in the State and in the interest of school-going children.

However, several private schools are opened and they are forcing the students to attend the classes violating the government order.

It was against this backdrop that a Class IX student tweeted to KTR that the Little Flower School, Uppal is reopening the school in violation of the government directives.

Responding to the tweet the TRS leader shared the tweet asking the State Education Minister G Jagadish Reddy and his staff to issue clear instructions to all the schools for the implementation of the government directions on the reopening of schools.
