On 15 March, the government of Assam shut down all educational institutions, cinema halls, multiplexes, gyms, and swimming pools. The Assam government has directed the schools to provide students with course materials and short video lectures on topics in the syllabi through WhatsApp to prevent learning gaps during the closure of educational institutes. Even all the students of Higher Secondary first year of 2019–20 academic year have been promoted to the second year without any examination. The Assam government also directed private schools to waive 50 percent of fees for the month of April. The schools have also been directed not to increase fees during the lockdown and to pay teaching and non-teaching staff without a pay cut.

The Government of Assam has started a YouTube channel for spreading awareness among the public regarding the precautions to be taken against COVID-19. Also, the government has launched a mobile application called 'COVAAS' for users to get information and updates regarding the COVID-19 in Assam.
