Schools record low attendance
PATNA: Government and private schools in the city, which reopened partially after a gap of nearly seven months, registered low attendance of students on Monday.
The state education department has allowed students of classes IX to XII to attend school only twice a week for doubt clearance. Only 50% of teaching and non-teaching staff are allowed to go to school. Schools have been asked to ensure safety of students, teachers and non-teaching staff in view of Covid pandemic.
Students attended classes wearing face mask on Monday. They were sanitised and screened at the entrance gate of the schools.
