Schools to be closed till mid-June

Saturday, 28 March 2020 | PNS | BHUBANESWAR

With uncertainty looming over normalcy in the wake of coronavirus outbreak, the State Government plans to extend closure of all schools till the third week of June.

Earlier, the Government had declared closure of all schools till March 31. However, after subsequent nationwide lockdown announcement made by Prime Minister Modi, the State Government had further extended it till April 14.

With no normalcy in sight even after April 14 and since all schools remain closed for summer vacation in May, the Government is planning to reopen the schools after June 17.

In another major development, the School and Mass Education Department is mulling lifting the pass/fail system for Classes 1 to IX students. Accordingly, all students of these classes would be promoted irrespective of their performances, said an official.

Once normalcy returns, priority would be given to evaluation of matriculation examination answer sheets and declaration of results, he added.
