In a recent directive issued by the Education Department in Goa, students in schools across the state are now required to wear only canvas shoes instead of leather ones. The decision aims to promote comfort and affordability among students, ensuring that everyone has access to suitable footwear for school. The move comes as part of the department’s efforts to create a more inclusive and student-friendly environment in educational institutions. Canvas shoes are known for their durability and flexibility, making them a practical choice for students of all ages. The decision has been well-received by parents and students alike, with many appreciating the initiative taken by the Education Department. This move is expected to benefit a large number of students who may have faced challenges in acquiring expensive leather shoes. By mandating the use of canvas shoes, the department is not only promoting comfort but also equality among students. The change is set to be implemented in schools across Goa, with officials working to ensure a smooth transition for all students. This new rule is part of a broader effort to improve the overall learning environment in schools and enhance the educational experience for students.
