Online classes preferred
At the same time, the Center has given permission to open the school but all the precautions related to Kovid will have to be followed. The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) has released the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). State governments will issue their SOPs on the basis of which schools will have to comply. The government wants that online mode should be given priority. If students want to study online, the school has to allow it. For the time being, the students coming to school will have to come with the parents’ permission.
