Primary Schools To Reopen In Karnataka From October 25, Check Guidelines

Primary schools in Karnataka have been given permission to reopen for offline classes. The schools will be reopening for classes 1 to 5 from Monday, October 25, 2021, at a capacity of only 50 percent. The government has issued a notice stating that the Education Department is prepared to reopen.

With the reopening of Karnataka Primary Schools, almost all classes are now open for students to attend offline lectures. Even before senior students' offline classes commenced, some sections were demanding to begin classes for younger students as well.

Karnataka's Chief Minister, Basavaraj Bommai, recently told the media that a decision on reopening Primary Schools would be made shortly, but only after a meeting with the Expert Committee. The Committee was assessing the state's overall situation, particularly in the aftermath of Dussehra, and sought to ensure that the environment was suitable for these students.
