Patna: Educational institutions in the city have made their fingers cross even as Minister of Education Vijay Kumar Choudhary recently signaled the reopening of schools and colleges in the state by improving the Covid situation.
The final decision in this case is expected to be taken at the State Government Crisis Management Group meeting in February 5.
Shamael Ahmad, the national president of the private school and the association of children’s welfare, said the demand for reopening schools was made because of students.
, especially those who study in class X and XII, need the right environment to prepare for exams that cannot be done through online classes.
“We look forward to a positive response from the state government.
The return of the physical class will also be a break for school employees who have been financially devastated due to covid pandemics,” Ahmad added.
Seema Singh, St Karen’s Middle School, said, “Schools must be reopened for a brief physical class from creating changes in behavior in students, online classes also cause gap learning.” Rajiv Ranjan Sinha, Principal Academy Baldwin, said he was patiently waited for the back offline to students.
When the Omicron variant of Covid is not deadly such as the previous virus variant and a large number of students in the age group 15-18 years have been vaccinated, schools tend to be reopened for all age groups in the state.
“When everything else is reopened, why not go to school?” Kalpana asked Sinha, a teacher at Notre Dame Academy.
“Examination must also be done offline,” he added.
However, not every teacher thinks that the school must continue the physical class in the middle of a pandemic.
“I believe that all students must be vaccinated before school is allowed to reopen,” said Sangeeta Chaudhuri, an English teacher at St Joseph’s Convent High School.
Students, on the other hand, hope to return to school.
Muzammil Ahmad, a class V of St Michael High School, said it was directly involved with teachers and peers very important.
Shahnila Khurshid, parents, said, “Children cannot solve their problems independently because of online class.
School must reopen and follow the safety protocol.”
