Without textbooks, attendance will be meaningless, says HC
Bengaluru:25.08.2021
Observing that without textbooks, attendance in schools will be meaningless and purposeless, the high court on Tuesday said the state government should ensure supply of textbooks to students of classes 9 and 10.
A division bench comprising justices BV Nagarathna and P Krishna Bhat said that the court is not satisfied with the statement on the issue of supply of textbooks. The court directed the state government to submit a status report on the progress made vis-a-vis supply of textbooks in government and aided schools till August 30.The bench suggested that education officers at taluk level send textbooks in PDF format to those who have the necessary gadgets and make an effort to provide printouts of PDFs to those who don’t.
The additional government advocate told the court that textbooks will be supplied in a phased manner by September 30. He also informed the court that a decision on resuming physical classes for students of standards 1-8 will be taken at a meeting on August 30. TNN
