Bengaluru: Amid the campaign by several groups which wanted the Government to stop its much publicised ‘Vidyagama’ programme due to safety concerns as several teachers involved in the programme have lost their lives reportedly due to COVID-19, the State Government on Sunday announced a three week holiday for teachers of Primary and High Schools.
The declaration of holiday comes a day after the Government suspended ‘Vidyagama,’ an initiative aimed at taking education to the doorsteps of children during COVID times, following reports of teachers contracting the deadly COVID-19 virus during the course of the programme.
