Bengaluru, Mar 13: This year, schoolchildren will have a longer summer vacation starting early, thanks to the new coronavirus onslaught. Primary and Secondary Education Minister Suresh Kumar on Thursday announced that schools in Bengaluru Urban and Rural districts will be closed for vacation from Friday.
Classes from LKG to sixth standard will closed for vacations till the schools reopen in June, while students of classes 7-9 will have ‘study holidays’ until their examinations commence (as scheduled by their respective schools). Their summer vacations will begin with the completion of their examinations.
Class 10 students will have their examinations according to the dates scheduled earlier.
“Let us not treat this as a panic reaction or something to cause a scare. This measure is taken as a precaution. A lot of parents were worried about their children. We have already announced the closure of schools from nursery to sixth standards. Now, we are declaring official holidays upto sixth standard. Students of standards 1-6 will all be promoted based on their formative assessment,” said Kumar adding, “no student will be detained in those classes.”
With respect to seventh, eighth and ninth standards, the schools will be closed for study holidays and students will have to return to write their examinations.“We will not interfere in the examination schedules of CBSE and ICSC schools. However, state syllabus schools have to finish their examinations before March 23”, Public Instruction Commissioner KG Jagadeesh said.Just a couple of papers of the PU examinations are left after which their holidays will begin.
Exam timetable not changed
Miscreants are spreading rumours that SSLC examination dates are changed because of the new coronavirus outbreak. However, Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board director V Sumangala categorically said the examinations will be held from March 27 to April 9 as scheduled earlier.

Naren ....any clarification?
Black magic is real .
Prophet muhammad pbuh taught us to stay far away from such elements which is evil...and it is a way to hell, if somebody involves in such activities...
And he has taught us how to ask refuge with ALLAH (God) the creator of all that exists, from the evils of this world.
The Quran is a guidance for Mankind and people are far away from it. People who fear such evil should once look into the QURAN with reflection and it will give you hope and strength to deal with evil which is sorrounding us.
May Allah Guide us to know the TRUTH and the reality of Evil and its games in this life.
