Puducherry schools to reopen for Classes 1-8 from December 6 – Education News
Puducherry Education Minister A Namassivayam announced on Friday that all schools in Puducherry and Karaikal regions would resume offline classes for students of classes 1-8 on Monday. He told reporters that the schools should have reopened for classes one to eight on November 8, but heavy rains then necessitated a postponement.
Director of School Education Rudra Goud said that classes would be held half a day for the standards one to eight and on alternate days. All safety protocols would be followed and attendance would not be compulsory. No decision was taken on restarting the mid-day meal programme for students of classes one to eight now and a decision would be taken in course of time, he said.
Schools remained closed since March last year because of prevalence of Covid-19. Although institutions were sought to be reopened, the date of reopening was postponed because of the pandemic.
