Schools, colleges and universities in the state were closed on March 16, 2020, then classes from class IX to XII started on February 12, 2021, but were closed again from April 20, 2021. Education Minister Perth Chatterjee had earlier announced summer vacation due to the second wave of COVID (West Bengal Covid restrictions). Then on November 17, 2021, the school reopened for classes IX to XII, but on January 3, 2022, the school was closed again on the strength of the third wave, but now again for classes VIII to XII. Classes have started.
Questions are being raised about ‘Padaya Shikshalay’
Academician Pavitra Sarkar said that this project does not seem to have any positive impact. “I don’t know whether the necessary infrastructure can be created for this,” he said. SFI state general secretary Srijan Bhattacharya said the project was just a gimmick and infrastructure was not available to conduct classes for so many students. The National Secretary of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, Saptarshi Sarkar, said that the ‘Pada Shikshalaya’ project was announced without any serious discussion and only regular classes could benefit the students. Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad state president Trinankur Bhattacharya said that this unique initiative of the state government will benefit the students of lower classes who are unable to attend regular classes due to the pandemic situation.
