SRINAGAR, Jul 8: Amid a backlash over revised school timings, Jammu and Kashmir Education Minister Sakina Itoo on Tuesday said the decision is not final and can be reviewed.
\nThe education department on Monday changed the timings of all schools in Kashmir and the winter zone of the Jammu division. The schools, which were closed for summer vacations due to a prolonged heatwave, reopened on Tuesday.
\nAccording to an education department order, the timings for schools falling within the municipal limits of Srinagar will be from 7:30 am to 11:30 am and the timings for those outside the Srinagar municipal limits will be 8 am to 12 noon.
\nPrior to the summer break, the schools started around 9 am.
\nThe revised timings evoked a sharp reaction from many quarters, including parents. Opposition leaders also questioned the practicality of the move.
\n\u201c(I have) received many calls (over the change in school timings). I want to say that these (revised school timings) are not final. If we feel that there is a need to make changes in the timings, then we can do it,\u201d Itoo told reporters in south Kashmir\u2019s Kulgam district.
\nIn case there is some problem with the timings, adjustments can be made. People and students need not worry, she said.
\nItoo said the government wants children to study as examinations are approaching.
\n\u201cWe have the November session and we want them to complete their studies. The endeavour behind reopening the schools after vacations and changing the timings is that the students should complete their syllabus because\u2026 examinations are in October,\u201d she said.
\n\u201cWe want the students from J&K to study and excel,\u201d the minister said.
\nIt is not clear how long the revised school timings \u2014 aimed at countering the heatwave \u2014 will remain in place.
\nHeavy rains significantly brought down the temperature in Kashmir on Monday. The weather department has forecast more rain over the next 48 hours.
\nOn June 21, authorities in Kashmir announced a 15-day summer break \u2014 from June 23 to July 7 \u2014 for all schools across the valley due to the soaring temperatures.<\/p>\n
