Officials are learnt to have suggested phased reopening of educational institutions
Revival of classroom teaching by opening the educational institutions from September 1 is likely if the government accepts the recommendations of the Education department to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. Proposals to this effect have reached the Chief Minister’s Office for the final approval. Sources said it is suggested by the officials to approve opening the educational institutions from September 1 in a phased manner beginning with higher classes. Primary and secondary classes in schools will not be in the first phase if the recommendations are to be believed. Classes can open from Class 8 to post graduation with 50% students initially is what the officials have recommended. However, classes for students from class 1 to 7 may open up after Vinayaka Chavithi or Dasara festival. Their argument is based on low number of cases in the State and also the fact that lockdown has been lifted totally and the public transport too was available.More Related News

This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
