A similar decision of four sub-committees for the implementation of NEP 2020 in higher education was taken last week.

On the decision of re-opening of schools, the minister stated that it would be taken after a meeting with the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister, who is also the health minister. The meeting likely to be held within a day or two will decide when schools should be re-opened, Chudasama said.

Already, the minister had conducted a meeting with senior education department officials last week to take their opinion. He had directed officials to study and analyse the guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs) issued by the health ministry. The SOPs stated that schools outside containment zones will be allowed to re-open from September 21 for Classes 9 to 12.

Earlier, educationists, academicians and experts had suggested the state government to resume schools in November at a webinar chaired by Chudasama.
