Are the schools going to reopen soon? The point of re-opening the schools is being considered since there is some control on the covid cases in Rajasthan. A proposal has been sent to the state government by the education department of Rajasthan for reopening schools from classes 9th to 12th.

There are all the probabilities that a green signal will be given for the reopening of schools soon. The education department, in its proposal, asked for the reopening between 1st and 4th January 2021. The decision will be taken based on the guidelines of the state government and the health department.

A 15-day trial would first be conducted; post which schools are likely to be opened for other classes as well. Everything depends on the nod from the state government. The mandates will be followed strictly in schools.

No one will be given entry without mask, the schools will have to take care of proper arrangements for washing hands, sanitisation of furniture and stationary, school transport and other required things must be taken care of. Social distancing has to be followed and no physical sharing of any material between staff and students. Students to be called to school on alternate days and bring their own lunch and water bottle and none of these must be shared with anyone.

Merely 4 days are left (including today) for the authorities to decide the date of reopening.  The decision has to be taken at the earliest as the schools also need to gear up for the safety measures.
