Hyderabad: Schools in all cities recorded up to 20 percent of attendance on the first day reopened after hiatus almost five months.
While most government and budget schools are reopened for physical classes, private schools and companies continue with online classes.
Restrictions on housing schools, social welfare and tribal welfare with dormitory facilities, all schools reopened.
However, his presence was thin on the first day because most parents remained worried about sending children back to the classroom.
Schools in the city saw students coming from 8am.
Because it was the first day, teacher members and staff were seen placed outside and inside the school building to guide students and parents about safety norms.
“We must constantly remind students to maintain social distance because they return to school after so long a little extraordinary for them.
We guide them at the entrance and direct them to their class where they are made to sit by zig-zag,” said K Bhagyalakshmi, a teacher at a government school in Malkajiri.
High presence in government schools is associated with midday food, children’s narrow houses and limited or no contact with friends, among others.
Many students will gladly return to campus after a long time.
“The online class went well but I missed coming to school and met my friends.
I am very happy to be able to return to school,” said Aarabhi Iyer, a 10th grade student of the government school in Somajiguda.
While some students in government schools appear in uniform, others are seen in civilian clothing.
“My uniform is not suitable for me again because I have surpassed it,” Chavali Vinod said, a 8th grade student of the government school in Secunderabad.
In cheap schools, the voters are thin because only senior students appear for physical classes.
“From the strength of 320 students, only 28 appeared on the first day.
When we tried contacting parents, many of them told us that their child shifted to a government school or they had moved back to their village,” said S Sujatha, Principal at Musheerabad.
Some school management hopes that the presence of students to physical class will rise for the next few weeks.
