The Ministry of Education announced that all schools nationwide will resume classes on July 27, following a prolonged closure due to the pandemic.
The Ministry of Education released a statement today confirming that every school in India will reopen on July 27, marking the end of an extended period of closure prompted by the COVID‑19 pandemic.
The decision comes after a nationwide assessment of health guidelines and readiness of educational institutions. Schools that were closed since March 2020 will now resume face‑to‑face teaching, with a phased approach to accommodate students and staff safely.
Authorities have outlined a set of safety protocols, including mandatory mask usage, hand‑sanitisation stations, and reduced class sizes. Teachers will undergo brief orientation sessions on the new procedures before classes begin.
Parents and students are encouraged to prepare for the transition by ensuring that all necessary supplies and health measures are in place. The government has pledged support to schools that require additional resources to meet the updated standards.
