An average of 42 per cent students of Class 9, 65 per cent students of Class 10, 48 per cent students of Class 11 and 67 per cent students of Class 12 are attending in-person classes, according to the data compiled on February 11 from all Kendriya Vidyalayas across India. 

These figures are dynamic and trends indicate consistent increase every day. Face-to-face classes for classes 1 to 8 have also been started in some KVs where state governments have permitted to open schools for junior grades, the Education Ministry said.

Regular contact with parents and guardians is being established by the schools in case of any apprehension. Students are being permitted to attend classes with the prior consent of their guardians.

The SOPs issued by the state and central Governments are being followed completely in view of the pandemic. All KVs are clearly advised to follow staggered timings for the students of various classes and ensure adequate safety measures, including maintenance of proper physical distance in the classrooms.

However, for students who are not attending school, the provision of online classes is also running. Students are also in touch with their teachers through various digital platforms, it said.

Kendriya Vidyalayas across the country have resumed face-to-face teaching for various classes as per the guidelines issued by the MHA and State Governments. KVs started opening from the month of October in a phased manner.
