Educational institutions in Assam are set to reopen on Monday on a “voluntary basis” after being shut down for almost six months due to the pandemic.
“Students of classes 9, 10 , 11 and 12 may attend schools/ colleges only if they have a written consent from their parents,” state education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma told media persons on Saturday.
Assam has seen a surge in Covid-19 cases recently, recording a tally of more than 1.5 lakh total cases, and 29,362 active cases currently.
