Schools across Maharashtra were shut due to the third wave driven by the Omicron variant. The Maharashtra government last week allowed physical classes to resume from January 24 and expressed hope that students would enjoy being back to the classrooms. The nod for reopening of schools was given by chief minister Uddhav Thackeray after a proposal was sent to him by the school education department.

Number of parents and activists in the field of education had strongly opposed the move to shut the schools saying it would adversely affect the students.
