September 6, 2021: Assam’s schools and colleges are all set to reopen with full Covid protocol after a long gap.

In the first session, the final year students of higher secondary, graduation and post- graduation will start their classes.

The Assam government said that for reopening, the institutions they are focusing on two criteria - the willingness of the students to attend the classes and the Covid-19 positivity rate in particular districts.

The Classes 1 to 11, the first seven semesters of graduation and first-year students of post-graduation will continue with their online classes.

 “The online mode of education will continue for students who prefer to attend online classes rather than physically attend school. Physical attendance in schools is optional and not mandatory," the notification stated.

The SOP has allotted the first three days of opening of schools only for the vaccinated students above 18-years along with the teaching and non teaching staff members.

Each section will have only 30 students and the class teachers will have to form new sections if there are more students in each section.

And the hostels will be kept open for only those students attending physical classes.
