“The subject 'General Knowledge' will help in inculcating the habit of self-study in the students as well as enabling them to take competitive exams. At the same time, it will create awareness among the students about the rich national culture and heritage. Leadership points will also increase,” the education minister added.
Meanwhile, the Maharashtra government has decided to reopen schools for Classes 1 to 5 from October 25. The schools will need to get consent of the parents for running physical classes and only 50% attendance is allowed.
The state resumed physical classes for Classes 5 to 12 on October 4 after being closed for over 18 months due to the pandemic situation.
