School Education Department to Take Alternative Measures to Avoid Confusion in Granting Holidays during Rainy Season
The school education department in Tamil Nadu is gearing up to take alternative measures to avoid confusion in granting holidays to schools during the rainy season. Currently, district collectors take the decision to grant holidays to schools and colleges during the monsoon season based on heavy rain warnings and other factors. In some cases, this has led to controversy and confusion.
In recent weeks, there have been instances of confusion regarding the decision to grant holidays during heavy rain in certain districts. In Mayiladuthurai and Nagapattinam districts, there were disagreements over the authority of school headmasters to decide on vacations, leading to dissatisfaction among school principals and education department officials.
Furthermore, there was confusion in the decision to grant holidays during heavy rain in Chennai, Kanchipuram, Thiruvallur, and Chengalpattu districts. Although schools were closed in the first three districts, no holiday was given in Chengalpattu district, causing confusion for residents in areas adjacent to Chennai. As a result, the school education department has expressed their intent to take alternative measures to rectify these problems and avoid confusion during the holidays.
The department has not yet revealed the specific alternative measures they plan to take, but it is expected that they will work to establish clear guidelines for decision-making during the rainy season to prevent any further confusion or controversy. The goal is to ensure that the process of granting holidays is streamlined and well-coordinated across all districts, thereby providing clarity and peace of mind to students, parents, and school staff during the difficult monsoon season.
