Schools In Tamil Nadu To Reopen For Classes 1 To 8 From November 1

The Tamil Nadu government announced on Tuesday that physical classes for students of grades 1 to 8 will resume in schools from November 1, after nearly a year and a half. Following a meeting at the Secretariat convened by Chief Minister M K Stalin to assess current steps to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, the government announced that the ban on social, political, cultural, and religious gatherings would remain in effect.

Physical classes for students in all schools (government-run, state-aided, and other boards) will resume from November 1 based on comments from medical experts, educators, and parents, the government announced. To prevent virus spread, the classes will be held according to the Standard Operating Procedures.

According to the government, stakeholders have expressed concern that students have been enduring stress and a learning gap as a result of being restricted to their homes since the outbreak of the pandemic last year. From September 1, students from classes 9 to 12 resumed physical classes at schools.
