Educational institutions in Assam will reopen on Monday after more than seven months with strict COVID-19 guidelines, officials said on Saturday. Only students from Classes 6th to 12th will be allowed to attend and a Standard Operating Procedure or SOP has been issued that will need to be followed, according to the officials of the Education Department.
To minimise the risk, schools will follow an odd-even system. Students in Classes 6, 8 and 12 will attend school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while the other three days are reserved for Classes 7, 9 and 11.
“All the students would not come into the schools at a time and they would attend the schools in different batches in morning and afternoon shifts. Fixation of the first batch and second batch of students would be done by the head of the institution,” the government said in a news release.
