Schools and colleges in the state were closed after the second wave of Covid hit the nation in late March this year. They remained shut during the first wave last year too.
The decision has been taken keeping in experts view that children face no threat from the virus. However, all Covid protocols will be followed. Children from small villages have no exposure to online education and hence, opening schools is necessary, said officials adding that SOPs will be released soon by the Home Department.
