Schools in Ahmedabad may offer optional Sunday classes to make up for academic time lost due to rain-related disruptions, a District Education Officer (DEO) advisory suggests. The classes would allow schools to complete pending syllabus, revision work, or other learning activities impacted by weather-related school closures. However, participation is not mandatory; individual institutions will decide based on their academic needs, teacher availability, and local conditions.
The recommendation applies to all school levels, from pre-primary to higher secondary, encompassing government, government-aided, private unaided, and board-affiliated schools in Ahmedabad. The DEO advises schools to inform parents, create schedules considering teacher availability, and prioritize student safety while conducting the additional sessions.
The initiative aims to help schools recover from the loss of instructional days caused by the heavy rainfall across Gujarat, ultimately restoring the planned academic calendar without making Sunday classes compulsory for students.
