Bengaluru: The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has decided to start LKG class in all the 276 Karnataka Public Schools (KPS). A decision in this regard has been approved by Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy, who is also the in-charge primary and secondary education minister.
According to the sources, this year, the KPS, the model schools launched by the state government in 276 hobli centers with classes
between Std I and XII, will have LKG. UKG will be introduced from the next year. The department decided to appoint the guest teachers for these LKG classes.
