An online post suggesting that all learners will be required to report back to school for in-person learning from October 26 is FAKE. Data from CrowdTangle, Facebook’s public insights tool, shows the post has been shared dozens of times, attracting thousands of reactions. Teachers were directed to report back to school earlier to prepare for the safe return of students in the examination classes. However, the Education Ministry is yet to state when the subsequent classes will be required to return for in-person teaching and learning. The Education CS while announcing the first phase of resumption of in-person learning said that the first two weeks would be used to inform the reopening of subsequent classes.
