Gujarat schools to reopen for Classes 1 to 9 from Feb 7

With new coronavirus cases declining, the Gujarat government on Saturday announced the reopening of schools for classes 1 to 9 from February 7.

A circular issued by the education department said that considering the COVID-19 situation, government, private and grant-in-aid schools can resume offline education for classes 1 to 9 from



Monday.

But online teaching will also continue and students can choose between the two systems, it added.

Offline or in-person education had been suspended for these classes after the infections began to increase rapidly from December 2021. Offline classes will be run in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued by the government earlier, the circular said.
