Why college reopening is prioritized?

Mr. MR Doreswamy said that Karnataka is all set to reopen colleges and schools. However, they will be following a graded reopening in which colleges will be the first to open. He said that college students are well aware of the healthcare rules and how sanitization is the need of the hour. Also, they have better immunity as compared to small children. Hence, they are capable enough to sustain in this new normal. In this pandemic situation, these elder students will diligently follow the health guidelines. Thus, to let them be the first in this reopening phase is justified. However, various educationists questioned and disputed the statement of better immunity of elder students.

IS IT OBLIGATORY FOR SCHOOLS TO REOPEN FROM OCTOBER 15?

Doreswamy gave his suggestion of a phased college reopening to Deputy Chief Minister, Ashwath Narayan and the minister for primary and secondary education, Suresh Kumar. Mr. Doreswamy also proposed that academic activities for pre-university students can also be possibly reopened. Hence, as per the phased theory, further lower classes will follow behind. However, this phased reopening would be only applicable for grades above 6. Additionally, hostel facilities and interstate transport will stay dismissed. Thus, the Karnataka college reopening is only applicable for residential local students.

The students from all the educational institutes will be classified into two batches in total. Alternate classes will be held, i.e a one-day gap for each batch.
