As the third wave of the Kovid-19 epidemic continues and schools across the country reopen, physical classes 1 to 8 in summer schools in Jammu and Kashmir have resumed today. Classes will resume with strict adherence to the Covid Standard Operating Procedure (SoPs). Officials from the state education department had earlier announced that schools in the Kashmir Valley would reopen in phases from February 21.
In addition, early last week, students in grades 9 to 12 were seen wearing uniforms and carrying Covid-19 vaccine certificates, as they crowded their educational institutions in the winter capital and other districts in the region.
