TEXTBOOKS AND UNIFORMS TO BE DISTRIBUTED WITH REOPENING, OFFICIALS ASSURE -AMEET OBEROI
GANGTOK, 22 Jan: All the State Government schools in Sikkim are set to reopen on 10 February when the winter holidays will come to an end. This was confirmed by Principal Secretary, Human Resource Development Department, Dr Thomas Chandy, while speaking to NOW! today.
On the changes that the children could expect in the new academic session, the Principal Secretary informed that two new subjects will be introduced in schools this new session.
“Disaster Management was already part of the course for all classes, but is being introduced separately for the middle schools in conjunction with the Land Revenue & Disaster Management Department”, said Dr Chandy.
The other subject being added this year is Moral Science which is to be re-introduced from this year onwards. “The subject was there in the curriculum earlier but had been dropped for some years and will be started again this year as advised by the state government”, he further informed.
Speaking on the issue of books and uniforms for the children, he stated that the books and uniforms for distribution to the children have already arrived and have already been dispatched to all the districts. The books and uniforms have reached most of the schools in the districts and those schools that have not received will be getting their lots within the next two weeks in time for distribution to children with the reopening of schools, he added.
The books and uniforms will be distributed to the children once the schools reopen for the new session, he said and added that this year the books and uniforms will be distributed to children on time.
