BHUBANESWAR: The School and Mass Education Department of Odisha Government on Sunday postponed its decision to reopen schools for classes 1 to 5 from January 3, 2022.
The decision was taken after consultations with all stakeholders and health experts.
It was earlier announced that 27,000 schools will reopen from January 3 with timings from 9AM to 12 Noon. Meanwhile, rising cases of COVID-19 have forced the administration to change its decision.
