The 2026-27 academic year has officially commenced in Karnataka's government schools with the slogan 'Good Learning, Bright Future'. The Department of School Education is focusing on infrastructure improvements, timely distribution of textbooks, and appointment of guest teachers. However, challenges remain as teachers are often burdened with non-educational tasks like election duties. The department also aims to address potential dropouts among migrant workers' children due to environmental factors like El Nino. https://www.prajavani.net/op-ed/editorial/karnataka-academic-year-reopening-challenges-4025725 #creator program
