Odisha holds back decision to reopen schools for classes 1 to 5 – Education News

In light of a sharp surge in COVID-19 cases, the Odisha government on Sunday said that it was withholding its decision to reopen schools for students of classes 1 to 5 from Monday.

School and mass education minister SR Dash, in a statement, said the decision was taken after officials visited various primary schools across the state and held discussions with the stakeholders.

 “Keeping in view the rise in a number of daily cases and based on the feedback provided by parents across the Odisha state, we have decided not to reopen schools for students of Classes 1 to 5 from January 3,” he stated.

Dash, however, maintained that physical classes for students of classes 6 to 10 will continue for now. He also said that offline examination, as scheduled earlier, will be conducted adhering to COVID-19 protocols.
