Director of Education Bhushan Sawaikar issued an order asking schools to resume regular classes in offline mode from Monday (Feb 21). "As COVID-19 cases are reducing day by day in the state, it is decided by the competent authority to reopen all the educational institutions from standard first to standard twelfth with effect from February 21, 2022, by following COVID-19- appropriate behaviour and as per SOP guidelines,” Sawaikar said.
Meanwhile, the colleges in the state are likely to reopen from mid-March, according to a Times of India report. The colleges started conducting offline examinations for final-year students from today, the report said.
The exams were scheduled to be held in January but postponed due to the third wave of COVID-19, the report said. As soon as final exams for students will get over, the first semester will end and classes for the second semester will begin from March 2, the report said.

Moreover, in view of a sharp drop in coronavirus cases in Gujarat over the last couple of weeks, the state government on Thursday decided to do away with the online system of education and said that from February 21, schools and colleges in the state will have to conduct their classroom sessions through offline mode only.
