Gujarat Schools Concerned Over CBSE Land Use Notification
The CBSE, a school board, made a new rule about how much space schools need.
Some schools in Gujarat are worried this means they won't have as much space for kids to play outside.
The new rule says that the number of classes a school can have depends on the size of the buildings, not the whole area.
School leaders are concerned this may cause schools to focus on indoor spaces rather than playgrounds.
They will talk about this problem at a meeting on August 23.
CBSE's new land-use notification concerns some Gujarat schools.
The notification changes how the number of school sections is determined.
Schools fear the changes may impact playground availability.
A meeting of around 100 principals will discuss the issue on August 23.
The notification focuses on built-up area instead of campus area.
