Schools In Punjab To Reopen For All Classes From August 2- Educational News
Schools in Punjab will start conducting physical classes right from pre-primary levels from Monday, said Punjab’s state School Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla on Sunday. The Punjab government had already allowed the reopening of schools for classes 10 to 12 from July 26. On Saturday, the Punjab government had allowed the reopening of schools for all classes from August 2 as it further relaxed Covid restrictions in the wake of declining cases.
“Following the approval of Chief Minister Amarinder Singh because of the present Covid situation, the Education Department is all set to reopen schools in Punjab for all classes from August 2 onwards,” said Singla in an official statement.
The minister said the timing of schools will remain the same which is from 8 am to 2 pm. Parents will have to provide written consent before sending their wards to schools. Singla said the reopening of schools would play an important role in assessing students’ learning during the pandemic as the teachers were able to contact the students through virtual classes only.
