BHOPAL: Though small in numbers, primary students attended classes with full zeal on the second day of the reopening of the schools in the state capital. Majority of the private schools have decided to open classes for primary sections from October 1 as they are in the middle of the examinations.
Students who attended classes on Tuesday were keen to meet their friends and teachers. Despite fear of third wave, parents who sent their children to the school showed confidence in the arrangements on campuses.
“My son Manan Chadnani is attending the offline classes. The teaching is amazing, the curriculum activities are going well and each child is treated with care. My son is very happy and glad to join his offline classes after one and a half years. I feel blessed that his class teacher is very helpful and never makes her children go down,” said Bhumika Chandani. Her son is a class 2 student of SPS, Gandhi Nagar.
Students, who could not attend the classes on day one, were also happy to see the schools on the second day of the reopening of the campuses.
“My son wanted to attend classes after he saw his friends attending classes. Today, I had to allow him as he was keen and I could not stop him. I spoke to the school authorities and they have assured all possible safety measures for my kid,” said Bimal Roy, father of a class 1 student in Government school in Arera Colony.
Incidentally, online classes for the students will continue along with the offline classes. DEO Bhopal Nitin Triptahi reiterated that schools will be penalised if they violate the Covid-19 protocol and any carelessness is evident from their end.
The SOPs issued by the Union and state governments from time to time for schools and Covid protocol will be followed in schools in toto, said the officials.
