With the sudden rise in Covid-19 cases in the state, the Odisha government yesterday withheld decision to reopen schools for class I to V from January 3.<\/p>\n
The state government had decided to reopen the primary schools in two phases on January 3 and January 10, said School and Mass Education Minister Samir Ranjan Dash.<\/p>\n
“Our nodal officers had visited various districts and took opinions from guardians. It was observed that the guardians have some reservation on reopening of schools,” said Dash. <\/p>\n
In the meantime, Covid cases are also rising in a rapid way in the state. In past two days, the number of cases has almost doubled, he said.<\/p>\n
Keeping above facts in mind, the state government has decided to put on hold the decision for reopening of primary schools for class I to V students, informed the Minister.<\/p>\n
However, the classes for class VI to X students will continue as usual. The summative-1 examination will be held for class X students from January 5 to 8 as per the schedule, an official of the department said.<\/p>\n
Odisha reported 424, including 67 of age group 0-18 years, new Covid-19 cases in the past 24 hours which is the highest in the last two months. The state had reported 298 Covid cases the previous day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
