In-person classes at secondary schools and colleges across the country resume Tuesday partially after a month-long closure since 21 January following a sharp rise in Covid-19 transmission, reports BSS.

However, only students who have been inoculated with two doses of Covid-19 vaccines will be allowed in classrooms, while the students who did not receive two doses of the jabs will have to attend classes online or through television.

But the students and the teachers must have to follow the health guidelines strictly to stem the Covid-19 infection, according to the education ministry officials.

Besides, different universities across the country will also resume their in-person academic activities today (Tuesday).

In-person class will start at primary schools from 2 March, the ministry added.
