Schools in Karnataka to start at 7.50 am hereon
School schedule for 2020-21 released in the backdrop of corona
Bengaluru: The Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board has issued guidelines to all the primary and secondary schools in the state about two-shifts schedule and measures to be taken to facilitate safe distance of students in the academic year 2020-21 in the wake of COVID-19.
In order to ensure that students maintain a safe physical distance, the DDPIs, respective school managements and head masters are advised to run schools in two shifts, that is from 7.50 am to 12.20 pm and the second shift from 12.10 pm to 5 pm.
The respective DDPIs in the state may allow the respective school headmasters and the managements of the schools to actively adapt the shift system to suit the needs, and resources of each school within their jurisdiction. But in doing so, the schools must comply with the guidelines issued by the department.
Each desk should accommodate up to three students to secure a safe distance in the school classrooms. If classrooms are lacking, the school can use the library, sports room, and computer room to serve this purpose.
The number of pupils in primary schools from 1st to 5th grade in the state is low in most of the schools. There is no need for shift system in such schools. However, in schools with classes 1 to 7/8, where there is a lack of rooms to maintain a safe distance, shift system can be adopted.
The notification stated that the composite PU colleges can run from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm, instead of 10 am to 3.30 pm. By doing this, PU classrooms can be utilised for highschool classes after 12: 30 pm.

Dakshina Kannada: Two girls drown while bathing near Kolyadakatta dam in Kadaba
Mangaluru: Two girl students drowned while bathing near the Kolyadakatta dam area of the Gundya river on Friday evening here in the Kadaba Taluk of the district.
The deceased have been identified as Arpita (15) and Sunita (21), both residents of Vimalagiri in Kutrupadi village.
According to reports, five girl students had visited the river along with their friends as it was a holiday. While bathing in the river, the two students reportedly entered a deeper portion of the water without realising the depth and began drowning.
Those accompanying them tried to rescue the duo, but were unsuccessful, leading to the tragedy.
