In a statement from the Tamil Nadu minister's office issued on Monday, it comes to know that Tamil Nadu School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi will be holding a meeting of all the Chief Educational Officers (CEOs) on Tuesday.  Areas related to different departments, including the Directorate of Matriculation Schools, the Directorate of Government Examinations, Samagra Shiksha and the Directorate of Elementary Education, will be discussed at the meeting.

According to the information from the sources, there are different thoughts regarding the reopening of schools in Tamil Nadu. While a large number of academicians, teachers, and policymakers in education vouch for opening of schools, the health department is not very keen on that. A senior official with the education department said that the government is confused on whether to reopen classes or not and the school education minister wants to get feedback from the Chief Educational Officers on the ground situation.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin had announced that the government is considering reopening schools for classes 9 to 12 and the meeting of the School education minister on Tuesday with the CEOs is likely to hover around this subject. The state school education department had transferred 37 CEO's and other officials of the education department last week. The minister would also be discussing with the officials regarding different departments like Directorate of Government Examinations, Samagra Shiksha and the Directorate of Elementary Education.
