Hyderabad: No child should be compelled by any school management to physically attend offline classes, if the parent is not inclined to send the child to school, the Education department said on Tuesday.

In a memo issued after the Telangana High Court directions on reopening of educational institutions, the department said all schools other than government residential, social welfare and tribal welfare schools with hostel facilities were permitted to open from September 1. At the same time, it was left open to school managements to have either only offline or online or both offline and online classes.

“Any undertaking obtained from parents by any school management absolving the school management of any liability if the child gets infected with virus, while in school, shall not have any legal effect,” reads the memo.

The department has also instructed the School Education director to lay down the SOPs to be followed by all school managements for conducting offline classes within one week.
