80 Schools to be closed in Himachal due to zero enrolment

Shimla, May 15 (UNI) The Himachal Pradesh Government has decided to close 80 primary and secondary schools across the state where not a single student enrolled in the current academic session.
The decision was taken during a review meeting chaired by Education Minister Rohit Thakur at the Directorate of School Education on Wednesday. The minister said these schools have no relevance if they have no students and called for the rational use of resources.
In addition to closures, 87 schools with low enrolment will be merged and converted into co-educational institutions with improved facilities. In the proposed model, one school will run classes from I to X, while the nearby merged school will operate classes XI and XII.
