Mangaluru, Aug 24: The department of public instruction of the district had granted holidays to schools and colleges from August 5 to 12 in view of prediction of heavy rainfall. To compensate for the loss of classes, the department has planned to hold classes in the afternoon sessions on Saturdays, beginning from today. 

Schools in Beltangady, Sullia and Puttur blocks were given holiday from August 5 to 12 while the other blocks got holiday from August 6 to 12. The department had decided to make good the loss of classes by holding additional classes on Saturday or Sunday. As there was widespread opposition for the proposal to hold classes on Sunday, the department has decided to conduct additional classes on Saturdays alone.

    Holiday granted on 12th August - a Sunday !? Can the Department of public instruction re-check their statements and also if all schools were actually closed. You can't issue a closure notice in the middle of the day and call it a retrospective holiday .

    As another commentator previously mentioned, the extra classes on Saturday appears to be a sort of disciplinary action against teachers so that they work full hours for their (meager) salaries.

    Good decision taken by the administration. Childrens enjoyed much having continuous holiday holed-up much at home due to rain. Let them now attend classes which prescribed by the authorites. Let parents encourage childrens to attend the same and give teachers space to cover all lessons which lost earlier.
