Schools and PU colleges will reopen on January 1 for students of classes 10 and 12 as scheduled, the Department of Primary and Secondary Education has said. Students who attend the classes will have to submit consent letters from their parents if they wish to attend classes. Many private schools have, however, decided against reopening schools for class 10 and 12 students from January 1, and have decided to continue with the online classes. Mr. Suresh Kumar has said that after looking at how classes 10 and 12 are being conducted, they would decide on the reopening of other classes in a phase-wise manner. Under this programme, students of all school managements can attend classes held on the school campus.
