Schools in Kashmir, shut for 31 months because of the security situation and the pandemic, will reopen on February 28, the government announced today.

Immediately after the repeal of Jammu and Kashmir's special status in 2019, the schools were shut citing security situation. They were again closed after the Covid outbreak.

While colleges and universities partially resumed classes last year, schools were not allowed to open due to the second Covid wave.

The orders to reopen all schools was issued by the J&K state disaster management committee after reviewing Covid situation in the region.
