The education minister, Suresh Kumar said, “Amid the Covid pandemic situation and several curbs about 40 per cent of attendance for class 10 and 32.56 per cent attendance for PUC (class 12) isn't bad. It is a good beginning we have made I believe.”

The attendance in classes 10 and 12 will be paced up from January 4, 2021, Kumar stated. He also added that several vigilance squads will be appointed by the state’s education department to check if the institutes are following the COVID 19 guidelines or not. 

Until parents need, the online classes will also be continued and neither the parents nor the students will be forced to visit the campus at this point of time, Education Minister stated.
