The Story in Brief
Ahmedabad schools can hold voluntary Sunday classes to recover teaching time lost during heavy rain closures, The Times of India reports. The advisory from the district education officer covers pre-primary to higher secondary institutions across the city, including government, aided, private unaided and board-affiliated schools.
Schools may use the sessions for syllabus completion, revision, assessments and student questions. Attendance is optional. Institutions must consider teacher availability, weather, safety and academic schedules, and inform parents and students beforehand. The advisory asks schools to conduct Sunday classes only when necessary and feasible.
The Indian Opinion
Calling these classes compulsory would misrepresent the advisory, but dismissing family concerns would also be careless. The order gives no figure for lost teaching days, participating schools or arrangements for teacher workload. Schools should publish the missed-day count, proposed dates and staffing plan before seeking attendance. The useful test is simple: do Sunday sessions close a documented academic gap without pressuring children who cannot attend?
