Administrative Secretary, School Education Department, B K Singh, while talking to Kashmir News Bureau, said the teaching and non-teaching staff have to come to schools as the government has decided to shut classes till 9th and 10th to 12th from 5 to 18 April and 5 to 11 April respectively.

Singh said that as employees of other departments, the teaching and non-teaching staff would continue to attend the schools during the days when students have been advised to remain at their homes.

However, the decision to shut classes was taken by the government given the rising cases of covid in J&K.
