Someshwarnagar: In the run-up to the assembly elections, the crushing season of sugar mills is in trouble. Now the second session of the academic year after Diwali will also start with a cry.
The district will only be able to conduct academic activities for five days in the first 15 days from today.
On the 14th, the school will be full for one day and again on the 15th, there will be a holiday on Guru Nanak Jayanti. Half of Saturday's school on the 16th and another Sunday off on the 17th.
School will reopen one day on the 18th. Soon after, schools will be closed for election work on November 19 and 20. Both days will be used for teacher elections and schools as polling stations.
As a result, the second academic session will be able to start from the 21st itself and the academic environment will be discussed again on the 23rd under the shadow of the results.
The election commission's postponement of the Maharashtra elections citing rainy season and other reasons has come as a shock to the sugar industry. Now, along with this, it is also having an adverse impact on the education sector.
The election training programmes held between October 20 and 25 in the last days of the first academic session had led to some disruption in the primary, secondary and higher secondary school examinations. Now the second session after Diwali will start from November 11.
The second training programme for teachers for the elections has started on the day the school started with enthusiasm after finishing the joy of Diwali vacation.
The event was scheduled to be held on November 10 but since the teacher eligibility test (TET) is being conducted by the state government on the same day,
the training programme will be held on November 11, 12 and 13. Schools will reopen on paper on The 11th, but teachers will not be available in zilla parishad schools and half of the teachers in secondary and higher secondary schools will go for training. Therefore, it is unlikely that the education process will begin.
The postponement of the election has had this effect. In this too, if the election training had been conducted during the holidays, the students would have got another two-three days.
Fifteen days will be wasted now and the next week will go for a routine sitting. Real schools will be back on track from December 1, said Ganesh Lakde, a guardian.
