The Union Health Ministry has permitted to reopen schools, colleges, and higher education institutions from 21 September. However, the new session in educational institutions will be different from what we know so far. Changes will be far-reaching, from wearing masks or maintaining social distancing.

Currently, students from 9th to 12th grade will be called in schools. If these students want to go to school to seek guidance from their teachers, then they will be allowed. However, for this, they have to take written consent from their parents or guardians. Students will also have the option to study online. The schools will only open as support for students who do not have access to online education or are experiencing difficulties.

 

 

What will be the way of education

 

Neither schools nor colleges have been asked to move towards physical teaching. Both will have to continue online education and a hybrid model will be followed. In the official notice, the Ministry of Health has asked both schools and colleges to correct their academic calendar to avoid congestion on campuses. According to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), "Academic scheduling should include regular classroom teaching and intermixing of online teaching/assessment.

 

What will open in school

 

The laboratories will remain open, but students will have to maintain a distance of six feet. Gyms will be open with limited capabilities. At the same time, swimming pools will be closed in school and college. Prayer will not be allowed in the school in the morning. While the exchange of goods between students and between students and teachers will also be banned.

 

 

Which colleges and schools will open:

 

According to government rules, only those schools and colleges that are outside the containment zone will be allowed to operate. Students, teachers, and employees living in the Containment Zone will not be allowed inside the campus. High-risk employees, including elderly people, pregnant women, people with illnesses, cannot be called to the campus.

 

 

What to do before opening school

 

All complexes must undergo a thorough sanitization process before reopening, especially those complexes that have been converted into Covid-19 centers. Institutions must clean their campuses with substances containing one percent sodium hypochlorite solution. Reopening institutions have been asked to keep a backup stock of personal safety including face cover, mask, hand sanitizer etc. E-wallet etc. can be promoted instead of cash transactions on campus.
