Schools, Colleges will re-open from Jan. 1: Minister clarifies
December 24, 2020
Mysuru: Primary and Secondary Education Minister S. Suresh Kumar has ruled out any change in the date of re-opening of Schools and Colleges and said it would start from Jan. 1, 2021.
Talking to reporters here yesterday, he said the decision to re-open Schools and Colleges had been taken only after consulting COVID-19 Technical Advisory Committee members. Before finalising the date, meetings were held with Chief Executive Officers of all Zilla Panchayats, Block Education Officers and Deputy Directors of Department Instruction to elicit their opinion. Since a majority of them favoured re-opening of Schools and Colleges to conduct classes for 10th and 12th std. students in the wake of Board exams, the Government fixed Jan. 1, 2021 for re-opening. Discussions were also held in connection with Vidyagama programme for students from 6th to 9th std.
