Most schools across Nagaland reopened on Monday for classes 6 to 12 after nearly one year of closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, the School Education department has asked all schools to strictly follow COVID-19 safety protocols. Besides other safety protocols, the department has asked schools to frame alternate day routine as per the enrolment in each class and the infrastructure facilities available.
According to reports, principal director School Education, Shanavas C had said that the present arrangement would continue for about a month. Once the department is confident that schools are strictly following all SOPs and also no COVID cases detected in schools, only then it would take a call on resumption of classes for students of Class 5 and below.
