The Tripura government decided to reopen colleges as well as hostels from Monday as there has been a gradual decline in the number of Covid-19 cases in the state during the past three weeks.
All educational institutions have been conducting online classes for students during the ongoing pandemic.
Since Covid-19 vaccines are yet to arrive in the state, the Tripura education department directed all school authorities to clean and sanitize the school buildings and campuses properly before conducting regular classes for the students.
The school authorities will also have to submit a report on the sanitization of school campuses to the education department.
Tripura education minister Rattan Lal Nath said, “Our government has spent a few lakhs for providing water, soaps, sanitizers and cleaning substances in the schools.”
‘We have also provided additional funds to the school headmasters for regular cleaning of classrooms and toilets and sanitization of the campus to ensure a disease-free environment.”
