Gujarat School Reopening: The Gujarat government has announced that the schools for classes 6 to 8 will reopen from September 2, 2021, onwards. As per the PTI tweet, the government has also directed the schools to conduct classes with 50% capacity.

Schools of classes 9th to 12th with 50 percent capacity were re-opened in the state from July 26, 2021, onwards. However, learning and teaching through online mode was also continued for these classes. Schools had been instructed to follow all standard operating procedures or SOP related to the Coronavirus epidemic, such as wearing masks and maintaining social distance, etc. It may be recalled that earlier the state government has opened 12th standard schools, colleges, and technical institutions in view of the decline in corona cases.

Important guidelines For Students To Follow:

• Students need to get a written permission from parents/guardians to come to school.
• Attendance of students in schools has not been made compulsory.
• It has been made mandatory for all children to come to school wearing a mask.
• Classes have been allowed to conduct only with 50 per cent student capacity.
• Students should not share any of their personal item with each other.

As the second wave of the corona is receding, many states have opened schools and colleges or are going to open in the coming days so that the children's academic routine can be brought back on track. However, in view of the threat of the third wave of the Covid-19, the Himachal Pradesh government had decided to shut down schools till September 4. The decision was taken at a cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur in Shimla on Tuesday. Earlier orders were issued to keep schools closed till August 28.
