Stakeholders Concerned About School Timings in Bangalore 2023-24

School Management, Parents May Suffer Due to School Timings in Bangalore 2023-24
General Secretary of Associated Management of Schools in Karnataka (KAMS), Shashi Kumar D has said that revision in school timings will only make things more difficult for both parents and children. On a daily basis, household chores begin at 4.30 AM. If the time is set earlier, then parents may have to cut their sleeping time short leading to a decline in well-being (physical and mental).
He further added that not only parents but the whole school management including teaching and non-teaching staff will have to face difficulties if Bangalore school timings are modified. Just like parents, they will have to wake up early putting them under pressure. They will have to reach school even before the students causing major inconvenience.
