Medha Sinnarkar, Principal at Laxmanrao Apte Prashala said that with the increasing number of Covid-19 cases, there is a possibility that local authorities will not allow primary classes to reopen and may only be in a wise phase.
“If they decide to reopen, then I think they should allow STD X and XII as the first priority.
Then, depending on the situation, they can extend it to STD IX and XI and so on.
Because students who appear for the exam board need to be cleaned and come Go to school for other things, they can be allowed to report to school.
However, there will be no coercion, “said Sinnarkar.
