In an attempt to ensure the safety of the vulnerable group of children, the Uttar Pradesh government has extended the closure of schools by one more week. Notably, in view of the rising COVID cases, all schools in Lucknow and other districts of the city were directed to discontinue offline classes till January 30. However, with this extension issued by the UP govt the shutdown will now continue till February 6th.

While the administration has ordered the extended shutdown of physical classes in all the schools across the state, the teaching and learning activities can be continued in online mode. Even though schools will not hold physical classes, the vaccination drive for students aged 15 to 18 will continue to be carried out on the campus. Apart from this, the distribution of food and ration will also be carried out like before at all the Anganwadi schools in the state.
