KARACHI: Sindh Education Minister Saeed Ghani on Monday said that the Provincial Task Force on Coronavirus has decided to allow in-person learning at schools with 50 percent attendance for classes 6 to 8 from Tuesday.

In a tweet on Monday, he said, “The Sindh Corona Task Force has decided to resume classes of grades sixth to eighth from June 15 (Tuesday).”

The minister added that if the COVID-19 condition improves further, primary classes will begin on June 21.

“Vaccination is mandatory for all teachers,” he maintained.

Classes 9 and above have commenced from June 7 with strict coronavirus standard operating procedures (SOPs) in place.

The National Command and Operations Centre (NCOC) had earlier issued instructions to keep all educational institutions in the province closed till June 7 due to rising COVID-19 positivity.
