"We haven’t taken such a decision as it won’t be wise to assume about the situation in August and beyond," said director of general education Jeevan Babu.
There were reports that government might explore the possibility of reopening schools in places where the prevalence of Covid cases is comparatively low and such an approach could be implemented after August. A statement, purportedly from the education department, had claimed that general education department may whittle down school syllabus if schools remain shut beyond September.
