NCERT to frame new guidelines for school re-openings post Lockdown

NCERT is working on guidelines which school will have to follow when they open after lockdown. Education Minister said that NCERT will prepare the guidelines for all the schools and will also update about the health protocols to be followed. Sambhav Jain, a teacher from MP asked HRD Minister in a webinar about when schools will reopen. HRD Minister replied that it is hard say when normalcy will return but whenever schools will re-open proper guidelines will be followed. For higher education institutions, the same guidelines will be formed by the UGC. To keep studies continue, NCERT has already released an alternative academic calendar and schools have begun teaching using online classes. An alternative academic calendar for the colleges has also been released by the UGC. According to the new academic calendar, classes for the second and third-year students will commence from August 1 and for the first-year students from September 1. During the webinar, HRD Minister again emphasized on online platforms such as DIKSHA and NISHTHA which can be used for online training.
