Update from Partner School/School Closure.
In the month of March, all schools had annual examination and students were busy preparing for the examination. After the exams there was the break for 10 days and the new session was supposed to be held in second week of April but due to sudden spike of second strain of coronavirus the government has ordered the closure of school on 27th March to 4th April, but the closure has now been extended till 21st April as a precautionary measure and its further likely to be extended and classes will be conducted through online platforms.
School closures have affected our workshop delivery but our workshops will therefore start as online sessions.
