    Digital Desk: The education department in Sikkim instructed the schools to conduct online classes for grades IX, X, XI, and XII on Monday as the schools in four severely affected districts were ordered to remain closed amid the flash floods.

    This is in light of the students' severe academic loss brought on by the week-long school closure.

    “As you are aware the week-long closure of schools has resulted in significant academic loss and therefore keeping in mind the interest of the students and to mitigate/compensate the impact of this closure all Private and Government Secondary & Senior Secondary Schools in the state are hereby advised to conduct online class for classes IX, X, XI & XII respectively whenever possible during this closure period as notified vide ref. no. 212/Adm/Edn dated 05/10/2023,” a circular by the education department reads.

    A cloudburst that caused flash floods in Sikkim led to the state's education administration issuing a notice for the closure of schools due to the extraordinary emergency.
