Central Board Of Secondary Education [CBSE] — school conducting classes during summer vacation

Address:

Korattur, Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Dear sir,
I am a parent of bhakatvatchalam vidhyasharam, korattur, chennai. As you know chennai is experiencing the hottest climate in the month of april and may but regular school is going on for the next academic year starting from 1st april till the end of april. The tamil nadu govt has directed all schools not to conduct the classes after 12th april. But to surprise this school is not following the order. The students find it very difficult to start the academic session in this hot & terrible climate.
With summer on the horizon, the temperatures are soaring high, the real worry is the burning heat and a large variety of diseases like chicken pox, flu & eye infections (Madras eye). So, it would be better if the students are given rest during april and may.

Also last academic year, the school had compensated many saturdays as full working day for government holidays & unforeseen weather. It is an injustice for students to compensate government holidays. With full working day on saturday, the student found difficult to cope up with these classes & they are being pressured to do all their school works and assignment on sunday. This could possibly lead them to miss out all their other extra curricular classes & activities and gives them a sleepless sunday night. So it would be very much grateful if the school management to consider the importance of student’s welfare and do the needful to continue the old procedure followed in the previous academic years in which the 1st and 3rd saturday was a half working day and 2nd and 4th saturday was a holiday.

I believe the cbse control board will take necessary action and do the needful at the earliest.

Thank you.
