Amid joy among pupils and teachers and trepidation among a section of parents, schools in West Bengal reopened after shutting doors for physical classes for nearly 20 months owing to Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
Students queued up at school gates across West Bengal since morning as per the schedule announced by the state government for holding classes in different timings for secondary and higher secondary sections. This segregation was undertaken to minimize mingling to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Teachers and staffers welcomed the boys and girls with hand sanitizer and thermal guns to check their temperature and advised them to wear masks at all times throughout the school hours.
