Gujarat School Reopening News: In line with the Gujarat Government’s earlier directions, Schools across the state are all ready to welcome students back on campus nearly after 9 months from today i.e. 11th January onwards. For now, Class 10 and Class 12 students, who are due to appear for the upcoming board exams have been permitted to visit schools for in-person regular classes. Earlier on Wednesday, Gujarat Education Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama had announced that schools for Class 10 and 12 will reopen from next Monday with complete adherence to COVID-19 guidelines.
Colleges to Reopen for Final Year Students
In addition to reopening of schools, colleges in Gujarat are also slated to reopen from today onwards for Final Year students for both undergraduate as well as postgraduate level courses. The decision was confirmed by Gujarat Chief Minister’s Office via a tweet from the official account.
