Kolkata, March 28: There is some good news for parents and students as the state government has decided to reopen Midnapore School in April. The school was earlier closed due to an acute shortage of staff, but now the school will be reopened due to the state government's intervention.

The decision was communicated to the Calcutta High Court, putting an end to months of anxiety about the institution's fate. While the government is yet to put in writing a definite date of reopening, the action marks a closure to the crisis that left the students unsure.

The shutdown had created panic among parents and students, who were worried about academic interruptions and future opportunities. They had called for the government's intervention at once, pointing to the negative effect on continuity of learning. Acting on growing pressure, state authorities have moved to tackle the shortage of staff and restore normalcy.

A high-ranking education ministry official confirmed that action was in hand to hire staff needed prior to reopening. "We are striving to occupy the vacant seats so that the school operates without delay," said the official.

The decision is also going to calm the fears of hundreds of students who had been victims of the abrupt shutdown. The parents have received the decision with open arms but are in a vigilant mood, warning the authorities against allowing such crises to occur to them in the future as well.

Now with the intervention of the government to end the staff crisis, Midnapore School is set to reopen next month, with hope and relief for its students and their guardians.
