Gujarat schools for students of Classes 1 to 9 reopen
India Today
Schools across Gujarat have reopened for physical classes for the students studying in 1 to 9 from February 7.
In the wake of the decline in Covid-19 cases, schools in Gujarat reopen on February 7 for students from classes 1 to 9. Physical classes for students studying from 1 to 9 were suspended on January 8 amid rising Covid-19 cases across the nation. However, schools were not closed for students from classes 10 to 12.
On Monday, schools reopened across the state, keeping in mind strict Covid-19 SOPs, with students appearing happy and excited to be back in their classrooms.
Students can only attend schools with written consent from their parents or guardians. Students from some schools in Ahmedabad said they preferred coming to school to the online classes.
Some schools in Surat started offline classes with "mind fresh activities" to help the students relax.
Last week, the Gujarat education department issued a circular stating that government, private and grant-in-aid schools can resume offline education for classes 1 to 9 from Monday. I further added that online classes shall continue, and students can choose between the two systems.
The offline classes will be run in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) issued by the government earlier.
