Very few students (2%) appeared at Amity School.
Modern schools in Sector 11 have more than 350 students (both combined batches) appear against a total of 802 throughout the class 9-12.

Because it was only the first day of the reopening school, we expect more children to join the class, especially because the junior class will begin in the coming days, “said Singh.
However, parents were not happy with that step.” We disagree with the decision The government to open school because the threat of pandemics is still common and the third wave is expected.
I know that education is important but not at the cost of our children.
The government has not confirmed infrastructure or safety measures for them, especially regarding their vaccination.
Instead, it has left it at school to ensure the protocol, “Vikas Bansal said, who has a daughter in 9th grade at the APJ school.” Every parent who consciously will not be willing to risk the lives of their children.
