Heavy rainfall and flooding in south Gujarat disrupt classes in several areas, and the state education department moves to help schools recover lost teaching time. Officials say schools can adjust their academic schedules, including holding classes on holidays and using additional days such as Saturdays, to ensure they complete the planned curriculum.
The department frames syllabus completion as the top priority. Officials across outlets indicate schools are expected to organise special classes to make up for missed instruction. In addition, replacement textbooks are provided for students whose books are damaged or lost due to the rain.
While the core details are consistent, outlets focus on different parts of the response. One emphasizes the policy that schools can operate on holidays to cover the syllabus, while another adds operational measures, including recovery classes and the distribution of replacement learning materials.
