After the COVID pandemic severely affected the entire education system, as schools and colleges were compelled to shut down across the country, Nagaland is now all set to resume classes from February.
Speaking to Nagaland Post, principal director School Education C Shanavas said the proposal was put forth before the High Powered Committee (HPC) on COVID, which had given its stamp of approval. He said the department would be preparing detailed SOPs for resuming normal classes and would issue a notification soon in this regard.
It was also learnt that preparations were on to conduct final exams for classes 10 and 12 in March in offline mode. The department will be issuing detailed information soon, an official said.
