2nd P.U.C offline classes resumes in Dakshina Kannada on Wednesday
Mangaluru: The Pre-University Colleges which were closed thus far as a precautionary measure against the COVID-19 were reopened on Wednesday and offline classes were once again resumed in the Dakshina Kannada.
As per the COVID guidelines, classes will begin at 9.30 am and end at 1.30 pm. Accordingly, only 50% of the class population will be allowed to attend physical classes. Therefore, batch-wise will be conducted as per the directive. Principals of respective colleges have been notified to take full responsibility towards implementing the standard operating procedure (SOP) in their colleges.
“The process of vaccinating children below the year of 18 has not yet begun. Therefore, the problem of having to vaccinate 2nd P.U.C students hasn’t arisen yet. However, the lecturers/teachers and the non-teaching staff are mandatorily required to have undergone vaccination”, District Commissioner ordered.
The DC has also given specific orders to mandatorily open COVID Care Centres with hostel facilities in colleges to help students from Kerala to undergo 7 days of compulsory quarantining and also provide medical care to students who have been affected by Corona.
The students who have completed their 7-day quarantine period must take an RT PCR test and those with the negative test report will be allowed to attend classes. The District Commissioner has also directed the colleges to undertake necessary arrangements to ensure that the students quarantining in the college COVID Care Centre are provided with facilities to attend the classes online.
The DC has also directed all the teaching and non-teaching staff of educational institutions to attend duty with a negative RT PCR test report and conduct separate classes for students living in the hostel and other local students.
Students traveling every day from Kerala are required to produce a negative RTPCR report once in seven days, upon which they will be allowed to attend physical classes. The teaching and non-teaching staff who commute daily from Kerala are also required to produce a negative RTPCR report once in seven days (even if they have received both doses of vaccination) to attend duty in their respective education institution, DC informed.
