Gujarat schools to reopen for senior classes from July 26

The schools in Gujarat are set to reopen from July 26 for senior classes after being shut down for nearly 1.5 years.

The government of Gujarat has decided to reopen the schools from July 26 and resume physical classes for students of senior classes as the number of Covid-19 cases is now on a decline in the state. The announcement was made by Chief Minister Vijay Rupani. The schools in Gujarat were shut down in March 2020 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi imposed a nationwide lockdown due to the rapid spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then, physical classes in Gujarat have been suspended.
