HYDERABAD: All educational institutions reopened in Telangana on Tuesday on a cautious note under the shadow of lurking Covid-19.The State government had decided to reopen schools, colleges and other educational institutions after reports indicated that Covid-19 was on the wane. Authorities claim that the Covid-19 norms are being strictly followed in all educational institutions to arrest the spread of the infection. The precautionary measures include the sanitisation of premises, ensuring safe distance among the pupils and mandatory wearing of masks.
The attendance in schools on the first day was thin as parents are wary of sending their wards to school. Though it is a little unnerving, several parents nonetheless have sent their children to schools as education is also equally important for them.With most of the academic year knocked away by the pandemic, the government and the parents want to salvage whatever little time is lift is left before the academic year comes to a close.
