BENGALURU: Karnataka will re-open schools for class 10 and class 12 for in-person learning on January 1. On the same day, the government will also resume its continuous learning programme Vidyagama for rural children from Class 6 to Class 9 in a revised format.
A formal letter from Education Minister S Suresh Kumar to all district in-charge ministers & MLAs/MLCs sets at rest any speculations on the subject. The government decision in this regard followed an opinion from the Covid-19 technical advisory committee favouring partial resumption of academic activities in schools with necessary Covid-19 prevention protocols in place. Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa also gave a go ahead.
