The Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Authority (PEIRA) on Thursday allowed educational institutes which do not have the facility of online teaching to call students one day a week for assigning school work.

The government, on November 23, had ordered the closure of all educational institutions across the country from November 26 till January 10 next year and directed for holding online classes until December 24 to reduce the chances of students being infected during the second wave of the coronavirus, which global as well as local experts fear, worsens during the winter season.

A notification issued by PEIRA directed educational institutes to ensure the implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) when students attend school.
