Over 16000 students in Nagpur return to school with enthusiasm, say no substitute to physical learning
Around 12% of the total enrolled students in rural Nagpur attended school on Monday, after the schools finally reopened. Around 29,000 parents gave consent to send children to school, of which just over 16,000 attended.
Std XI student Satyam Yadav said, “I am very excited to be back in school. For so many months, I have been missing my friends, teachers and this place. It’s like a second home and I have been waiting eagerly for reopening”.
Outside school gates, students had to submit the physical copy of consent forms signed by parents/guardians. After that, the first of many rounds of hand sanitization began. Body temperature was checked, followed by pulse and then again a vigorous rubbing of hands with sanitizers.
After a short walk from the gate to the school building, students were guided by staff to ‘handwash’ stations where washing hands with soap is mandatory. Only after this, students were allowed entry inside classrooms.
