Indicating that the situation is back to normal, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday directed the officials concerned to make arrangements for the reopening of schools from February 1 for Classes 9 and above. 

During a review meeting held at Pragathi Bhavan, the Chief Minister directed the officials to reopen classes from 9th Standard upwards in all the private and government educational institutions from February 1.

“Classes should be held for the students of 10th, Intermediate, degree and other professional courses. Meanwhile, keep ready hostels, residential schools and all educational institutions and ensure that the toilets are clean. The District Collectors should take the necessary measures to keep the educational institutions clean and hygienic,” he said.

Since the educational institutions were closed for months, Rao directed the officials to clean the entire premises and ensure that the food grains and essential commodities are not rotten. “Keep the educational institutions ready by January 25 to conduct the classes. Ministers should visit SC, ST, BC hostels and see to that they are fit for the students to stay,” he said.
