Schools resume in-person classes in Tamil Nadu

Classes for grades 1 to 12 have resumed; schools have put safety measures in place

Schools across Tamil Nadu resumed in-person classes for students of classes 1 to 12 on Tuesday. Several schools welcomed students, eager to be back on campus, with a host of safety measures in place.

While schools were reopened for senior students in September last year and in November for classes 1 to 8, in-person classes were stopped in January after an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases. Teachers had expressed concerns about the closure since students were just about beginning to get accustomed to being back on campus and the postponement of the revision exams for senior students had left many worried as well.
