Pune Municipal Corporation is yet to decide on reopening schools for classes 5-8

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is yet to decide whether or not to reopen classes 5 to 8 from next week. Maharashtra education minister Varsha Gaikwad said that the school education department has issued a notification to allow schools across the state to reopen for classes 5 to 8 from January 27. However, PMC is still collecting primary data.

Suresh Jagtap, PMC additional commissioner, said that the authorities are yet to decide on reopening schools. He said, “We are still collecting primary data. Though the state government has given its nod, we are collecting information, including social distancing and sanitisation norms that will be followed when schools reopen.” He also added that the PMC is still reviewing the number of students that will be allowed in schools and how they can be accommodated.
