Mangaluru, Oct 6: Educational intuitions in the coastal district of Dakshina Kannada have been asked to ensure smooth transition of students from home-based schooling to formal schooling and uphold the guidelines issued by the education ministry.
Dr K V Rajendra, the Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada has said that schools, colleges and other training institutes in the district can be reopened from October 15 in a phased manner.

Schools can implement re-adjusted school calendar and redesigned Annual Curriculum Plan (ACP), remedial classes or conduct back to school campaign among other steps.
