Ahmedabad: Twenty-five private schools in the city have been ordered to shut down due to a lack of new admissions. Additionally, five schools in Ahmedabad rural have also been asked to close.

The District Education Officer of Ahmedabad has announced the closure of 25 private schools in the city because of insufficient student enrollment over the past two to three years. Institutions affected by this decision include A-One Primary School in Satellite, HB Kapadia New Primary School (English Medium) in Memnagar, Nutan Primary School (Gujarati Medium) near Prabhat Chowk, Sanskar Primary School in Chandlodia, Ashish Hindi School in Vastral, Astha International School in Vatva, Ashish Shikshanteerth Sadguru Vidyalaya on IOC Road, KS Vidyalaya near Raipur Darwaja, Bhagwati Primary School in Behrampura, Sanskar Vidyalaya in Nikol, and Honey Child Preschool in Nikol, among others.

Rohit Chaudhari, the Ahmedabad City DEO, confirmed the closures, stating, “These schools have had no students for the last two to three years. Despite issuing notices and allowing time for the schools to respond, the absence of students has left us no choice but to close them down.” He added, “We will proceed with the cancellation of accreditation for these schools as the next step.” DeshGujarat
