Classes in different parts of MP were resumed with a 50% capacity on the first day of school, after acquiring written permission from parents to attend offline lectures, as per the COVID-19 protocols.

In the first phase of unlocking of schools, classes were reopened for students of grades 11th and 12th from July 26 with a 50% capacity. In the schools which have a lower seating capacity, classes were organised in small groups once a week, after parents granted mandatory written permission.

The second phase of the unlock happened from September 1, which permitted students from 6th to 12th to attend regular classes at school with a 50% capacity. The decision of the third phase was taken on September 14 when the CM of Madhya Pradesh decided to reopen schools for classes 1 to 5, as well. Alongside, classes for some grades of hostel schools will be regulated with a 100% capacity.

Sanitization drives have been conducted in the premises and surrounding areas to enable cleanliness of the schools and classes. Moreover, the third phase of the COVID-19 Vaccination Maha Abhiyan is proceeding at a good speed with a target to at least partially inoculate all eligible citizens of the state by September 26.
