With the decline in cases in India, many states around the country have decided to start offline classes for educational institutions to make sure that students get the right growth and physical exposure.
There are various rules and regulations that schools need to make to make sure that proper covid protocols are followed. Social distancing still needs to be followed at all times. 100% of the class cannot be called at once.
While many states are allowing classes 9 to 12 from September 1, some have also allowed reopening of schools for classes 6 onwards. Here’s a list of states that are opening schools in offline mode from today, 1st September:
Delhi
Colleges and schools in the capital are opening for classes 9th to 12th from 1st September while classes 6th to 8th would be opening from next week. As per guidelines issued by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), a maximum of 50 percent attendance will be allowed.
