Srinagar, March 9: All the educational institutions in Kashmir re-opened on Monday after remaining closed for a week due to protests over the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US-Israel air strike.

Schools and other higher educational institutions resumed functioning today, said an official.
Donned in school uniforms, students of varying age groups made their way to their institutes on Monday morning.
Schools, colleges and universities were closed for a week from last Monday after protests erupted across the Valley following Khamenei’s killing on February 28.
While secondary schools and higher institutions reopened on February 23 after winter vacations, the middle and primary schools were scheduled to reopen on March 2 but were delayed due to the protests.
Educational institutions in the Valley had remained shut since December as part of the winter vacation schedule announced by the School Education Department.
Parents and teachers expressed hope that the new academic session would proceed smoothly and without disruptions.
The reopening of schools marks the beginning of regular academic activities in the region following the winter break, which typically lasts from December to early March in Kashmir.
