Chennai, August 6

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Friday decided to open schools in the state for classes IX-XII from September 1.

The School Education Department has been directed to commence the preliminary work, the Chief Minister’s Office said.

Stalin said that the government has decided to reopen schools considering the view of several experts that closing of schools for many months has caused depression in children. The statement also said that several students were facing difficulties as they don’t have access to online education.

He said that the schools will open with 50 per cent of the students at a time in these classes, and following the standard operating procedures.

The statement also said that all nursing schools and medical colleges would be allowed to function from August 16. IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
