Further, to attend physical classes the education department has directed all students to bring a consent letter from their parents or guardians. Students also need to submit a no-objection certificate, which has to be approved or signed by their parents, to attend offline classes. There are about 1.5 lakh schools in the state, and the decision will impact 1 crore 30 lakh students from classes 1 to 12.
Not just schools, colleges, and coaching centres too have been allowed to open. For students above 18 years of age have also been asked to be vaccinated before entering the campus.
