Schools to reopen on June 1

All schools in Tamil Nadu will reopen on June one as scheduled,a release from Directorate of Education said today.

It said that arrangements have been made to distribute books and other materials on that day itself.

An official said the decision was taken after a meeting of top education department officals which reviewed reopening dates of previous years and the weather and temperature that prevailed then.

There was a demand from the Parents-Teachers Associations to postpone by one week reopening of 55000 schools in view of the extreme heat conditions prevailing in the state.
