The Manipur State Government has announced the closure of all schools and colleges across the state until September 12, 2024, citing unforeseen circumstances and the prevailing situation. The decision made public on September 10, affects thousands of students and staff, significantly disrupting academic activities in the region.
Although the government has not provided a specific reason for the closure, the directive has emphasised the need for students, teachers, and school staff to prioritise safety during this period. The sudden suspension of classes raises concerns about the continuity of education as students face another pause in their academic routines.
According to news reports of Jagranjosh, authorities have urged all affected individuals to stay informed and keep track of further updates from the state government and their respective institutions before planning to resume classes.
This temporary shutdown has sparked widespread uncertainty across the educational landscape of Manipur as students prepare for upcoming exams and assessments. Many parents and educators have voiced concerns about the academic impact, particularly given the challenges students have already faced over recent years due to disruptions from the pandemic and regional instability.
The closure comes when schools and colleges prepare for mid-term examinations, leaving many students unsure about the revised academic calendar.
Educational institutions and the state government are expected to provide further guidance on the resumption of classes and any adjustments to the academic schedule in the coming days. For now, the priority remains on ensuring the safety and well-being of students and staff across the state.
