Chennai: Tamilnadu Higher Education Minister K P Anbalagan today said colleges in the State will be reopened only after coronavirus is fully eliminated.
Speaking to the media, he said, ‘since quarantined people have been made to stay at colleges, which are serving as isolation centres, they will be reopened for classes only after Covid-19 infection completely goes away.’
Earlier, reports said Tamilnadu’s Higher education department was planning to merge two shifts and change college timings for Government Arts and Science College in the state. According to media reports, the plan was to run colleges in one shift in place of the two shift (morning and evening), which is operational at present.
The decision has been taken due to the fewer number of students attending the evening classes, reports said.
