All educational institutions re-opened in Bihar with strict compliance of covid protocols today. Schools from Class 9th onwards, colleges and coaching institutes are permitted to allow only 50 percent of students.
These institutions were closed from March last year due to corona pandemic. They have been asked to call students in batches on alternative days.
Principal Education Secretary Sanjay Kumar said students will be allowed to attend the physical classes only after getting written consent from their parents or guardians. The educational institutions have been instructed to make arrangements for online classes for those who do not wish to attend the physical classes. The government has also released preventive measures to contain spread of Covid-19 in all government and private schools and higher educational institutions.
Temperature of staff and students is being checked before they enter the premises. The school administration has been instructed to arrange hand sanitizers, liquid soaps and digital thermometer for staffs, teachers and students. Two masks have been given to each student.
