First meet of reconstituted SMCs in govt schools on Oct 25

AFTER a month's delay, the School Education Department has instructed all government schools across the state to hold School Management Committee (SMC) meetings on October 25. This will be the first meeting since the SMCs were reconstituted in August.

The meeting was expected to be conducted immediately after the reconstitution in September. The upcoming meetings have two key agendas - reviewing resolutions adopted over the past two years and discussing the higher education guidance provided to students through the career guidance cell. According to officials, each school has adopted around 40 to 50 resolutions. The newly appointed members will review these and decide further action. Schools have also been instructed to maintain a physical register of the new resolutions and upload them on the Parent App.
