“The state government has not decided yet on starting schools. That they will reopen in September was only a general opinion expressed by our officials at the meeting. At present, we have no plans to start schools unless there is a conducive environment. There’s no need for anxiety,” said primary and secondary minister S Suresh Kumar.
Kumar said the government is involved in meeting the education sector’s changed priorities in the current scenario.
The minutes were of a virtual conference on school-safety plans, with representatives of state governments and Union territories expressing views on reopening of schools.

An education department official said Karnataka submitted to MHRD that it will be able to take a decision only after September 1, depending on the situation in the state.
