News Desk: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said the state government is considering reopening schools and colleges after Durga Puja vacations, with classes on alternate days to start with.
She said “The state government is mulling to reopen schools and colleges after Durga Puja vacations later this year depending on the Covid-19 situation here”
“The possible idea is to have classes on alternate days to ensure the crowd in schools or colleges stay distributed” she added.
Earlier an education department official had said that whenever school campuses reopen, students of higher classes will be the first to start offline classes and not those at the primary level amid a possible third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
