Back to online lessons for students of Classes I to 8

Govt. school teachers express concern over impact on children

For many schools in the State, it is back to online classes from Monday when new set of COVID-19 restrictions come into effect. Under the new norms, in-person classes are not allowed for children up to Class VIII till January 10.

Schools had reopened for senior classes in Tamil Nadu from September 2021, and for primary and middle school classes from November 1 following a prolonged break owing to the pandemic.

The new restrictions and concerns over the Omicron variant have meant that most private schools are gearing up to begin online classes from January 3 till the restrictions are in force.
