Schools to reopen from July in Haryana

Chandigarh: Haryana Education Minister Kanwar Pal said the state government would reopen the schools next month in a phased manner.

Also, the state government will take feedback from stakeholders, including parents, teachers and experts, on whether to conduct classes in two shifts to maintain social distancing, Pal told reporters here.

Educational institutions in Haryana have been shut after Covid-19 lockdown was imposed in March.

Replying to a question, Pal said demo classes will be run in a few schools to find out how social distancing in the classrooms can be ensured.

On Tuesday, Pal had held a meeting with senior officials of his department to chalk out plans for reopening schools.
