States free to decide on schools reopening after Oct 15

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Wednesday left it to the states and union territories to decide on reopening schools and coaching institutions after October 15 in a graded manner. Earlier, schools were partially reopened from September 21 in compliance with Unlock 4 guidelines.

 “Students may attend schools or institutions only with the written consent of parents. Attendance must not be enforced and must depend entirely on parental consent.”
