Bengal reopens most educational institutions; ‘neighbourhood schools’ up next
Schools, colleges and universities in West Bengal reopened on Thursday as Covid-19 cases declined in the past few weeks. Schools have been allowed to reopen for students in grades 8 to 12.
The state government also plans to open “neighborhood schools” for pre-primary and primary school students from Monday.
Schools in Bangladesh were first closed in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. They reopened in February 2021 for students in classes 9 to 12, but had to close again in April 2021 due to parliamentary elections and a second wave of Covid-19. Schools for students in grades 9 to 12 reopened in November but closed on January 3 for a third surge.
Educational institutions will reopen from February 3, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced on Monday.
The daily number of Covid-19 cases has fallen from about 24,000 a day in mid-January to less than 3,000 this week. The government announced a number of easing policies this month. Direct flights from the UK are allowed along with direct flights from Mumbai and Delhi. Governments, private offices, restaurants, cinemas, bars, etc. have been allowed to work at 75% capacity.
Education Minister Bratya Basu announced last month that the government would launch “neighborhood schools” to reintroduce pre-school and primary pupils into the school system after nearly two years of open-air courses.
More than 6 million students will benefit thanks to “neighborhood schools,” an official said. “Students in pre-primary and primary classes have been in school for almost two years. Although online classes have been going on, it has had a detrimental effect on the children. So this project has been launched and teachers will be in their communities for 5- to 9-year-olds Students set up courses,” Basu said.

Jennifer Lopez ‘let go of her’ high-heeled ego while working with Ben Affleck
As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.
Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.
The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.
“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”
“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

Affleck praises Lopez’s ‘spectacular’ performance
Affleck and Matt Damon produced the film, which tells the inspiring story of 36-year-old wrestler Anthony Robles.
JLo portrays Judy Robles, Anthony’s mother. Affleck also highly praised Jennifer’s performance, calling her “spectacular.”
“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”
After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.
“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”

Jennifer told Interview Magazine, “I was thinking about this time in my life, and I’m like, ‘That’s not what I thought it was going to turn out like.’ And then I thought, ‘No, this is exactly where I needed to be.’”
