In Telangana, direct teaching for students of Standard VI to VIII has begun in schools across the state today. The State Government has asked managements of schools both in private and public sector to commence classes for Standard 6th-8th by 1st of March following increasing demand from parents. It may be recalled that the direct teaching for Standard IX and X has already begun. Our correspondent reports that the State Government has issued guidelines for the management to keep the schools premises safe for both teachers and students.

Over 17 lakh students of 6-8th Standard will have direct learning at their schools in Telangana from today onwards. However, the state government has given time for beginning classes till 1st March for the school management.
