Karnataka Hijab Row: Classes 9, 10 To Open Monday, Decision On Seniors Later

Schools can reopen for Classes 9 and 10 in Karnataka from Monday, the state government said today, three days after they were shut down amid a row over wearing hijab by students. Whether to allow pre-university, or PU, colleges for Classes 11 and 12 to reopen will be decided later. No decision has been taken yet for universities and higher education colleges.

Students till Classes 8 were, however, allowed to attend school as the shutdown affected only higher classes.
