Guwahati: All educational institutions except primary schools in Assam have been reopened, ensuring adherence to the Coronavirus Guidelines. These institutions were closed for seven months due to the epidemic. Classes were closed for students up to class five, but classes started again for students from class six.
Colleges, engineering colleges, universities, polytechnics, private educational institutions, government and private training and coaching institutes in the state resumed as per the government order. According to heads of institutions, they followed the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on sanitization. Students, teachers and non-teacher staff were seen applying the mask and applying rules to maintain social distancing. The presence of students has not been made mandatory and they have been given the freedom to choose online classes.
However, students who want to come to the classrooms will need to provide a no-objection certificate from their parents, according to the SOP. State Education and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma told the press, 'Today is a challenging day for Assam. Schools and colleges have been resumed from today. I know of two opinions on this decision to reopen schools.' Sarma cautioned that if the schools and colleges did not follow the SOP, the government's objective would fail.
