The physical classes began on September 1 with the decline in the cases. The classes were conducted for a period of three months excluding the holidays. However, due to the rise in the cases, the schools were shut down once again and students were asked to attend online classes.

On the other hand, Education minister Sabitha Indra Reddy said that the government is gearing up to reopen the educational institutions in the state by January 31 if there is decline in the report of COVID-19 positive cases. The minister said that neither the exams will be cancelled nor the students will be promoted to higher classes this year.
