Noida: Even as a public and private school has started preparations to implement the direction of the state government to start classes for grade 9-12 students from August 16 in two batches under the Covid protocol, parents are many unhappy.
Parents say that considering the prediction of the third wave of Covid, the government’s decision to reopen the school is not a wise step and must be revoked until children are vaccinated.

Yatendra Kasana, the president of all the Association of Parents Noida (ANSPA), said, “The decision to reopen school by the government is in a hurry because the third wave of Covid-19 is expected in several months, including warnings throughout the world, including from the central government .
