Senior Deputy Minister Dinesh Sharma, who is also Minister of Secondary and Higher Education, announced that in the first phase, schools will reopen for classes IX to XII. Classes will be held in two shifts and students will be called on alternate days. Classes IX and X will be held on the first shift, while classes XI and XII will be held on the second shift.
