After a week-long closure prompted by security concerns and protests, schools, colleges, and universities across the Kashmir Valley reopened today, bringing students back to classrooms and restoring normal academic activity.
Authorities had ordered the shutdown of educational institutions earlier this month as a precautionary measure following demonstrations in several districts. With the situation now calmer, the administration reviewed conditions and declared it safe to resume classes.
Students streamed into schools and colleges on Monday morning, greeted by teachers and staff who have been instructed to ensure a smooth restart. Officials emphasized the importance of helping learners pick up their studies without further disruption.
The temporary closure had raised worries about interruptions to the academic calendar. Parents and educators welcomed the reopening, hoping it will allow students to focus on exams, coursework, and extracurricular activities without additional setbacks.
With regular classes back on schedule, the Valley’s education system is expected to regain momentum, offering young learners a sense of stability after a tense start to the month.
