PANJIM: Students wing of Congress party National Students Union of India (NSUI) Goa has questioned Goa government’s wisdom regarding restarting of physical classes in absence of vaccination for students’ category.
Circular dated July 16, 2021 issued by Directorate of Higher Education stated that the govt is planning to start physical classes once the teaching and non-teaching staffs are vaccinated.
NSUI Goa PresidentNaushad Chowdhari issued a press statement asking if students will be safe without vaccination. “We (NSUI) fail to understand how students will be safe without vaccination? Are these physical classes held only between teaching and non-teaching staff?” he said.
“For the physical classes to start there is involvement of students and teaching and non-teaching staff, not just teaching and non-teaching staff as mentioned in the circular. Why is CM not organising special vaccination camps for students? Opening educational institutes without vaccinating students will be fatal for students,” he further said.
