Bengaluru: With traffic snarls expected in the city on Wednesday due to the swearing-in ceremony of the new chief minister, several schools have decided to adjust their schedules, either by changing timings or shifting to online classes.
Delhi Public School-Bangalore South Goes Online
Delhi Public School-Bangalore South has opted to hold online classes. Principal Anitha Bijesh explained that the decision was made after traffic police informed the school about road restrictions. “We did not want students and parents to be inconvenienced by the traffic regulations. At the same time, we did not want classes to be disrupted. So we’ve decided to conduct classes virtually,” she said.
In a note to parents, the school stated that traffic restrictions would be in place on Kanakapura Road from 7am to 5pm, potentially affecting travel. The virtual classes ensure that learning continues without interruption while avoiding the traffic chaos.
Bishop Cotton Boys School Implements Half-Day
Meanwhile, Bishop Cotton Boys School has decided to have a half-day schedule. Classes will end at 12:30pm, and school buses will depart by 12:45pm. The school office will also close at 2pm, as informed to parents.
These proactive measures aim to minimize inconvenience for students and parents amid the anticipated traffic congestion. Other schools in the city may also announce similar adjustments as the event approaches.
