Schools reopen after hiatus

Classes, though, were held till the afternoon and with 50% attendance as had been the case before the closure last month

Schools in the State resumed Classes I to IX on Monday after a hiatus of three weeks owing to the COVID-19 case surge.

Classes, though, were held till the afternoon and with 50% attendance as had been the case before the closure last month. The stipulations will be in place this entire week ahead of the return of all students for regular school hours, as in pre-COVID times, from February 21.

Classes X to XII have already been resumed till the evening since the past week. From next week, the batch system will be scrapped and schools will resume full swing till the evening, especially as public examinations for SSLC and Plus Two students are just a month-and-a-half away.
