Hyderabad: Not only the fear of Covid-19 which makes students out of school and college.
Many children are said to go down with viruses, especially typhus, which forces them to stay away from schools and colleges after attending classes for several days or more.
Teachers and Principals said that while there were not many differences in the percentage of attendance that were recorded every day, they saw new students every day as those who went to school in the first few days of receiving health reasons.
“In the past week, at least 20 students from college I said that they went down with fever, dengue fever or typhus,” said KS Rama Rao, principal of the government junior college and president of the team’s first school principal of Telangana.
He said that the situation was more or less the same in almost all junior colleges in the state because many were unhealthy.
“Even if a student experiences flu and fever together, we ask them not to study because it can be anything from a fever together to Covid-19,” he added.
The same thing is said to be a case with school students because they also quote health reasons not to attend physical classes.
“Even now, there are not many who openly say what their diagnosis.
What we know is that a student goes down with a fever.
At our school, some students stop coming to class after the first two days,” said M Ravindar, a mathematics teacher.
In the state, more than 52 registered lakh students from class 1 to grade 10 in government and private schools and around 10 lakh students in the first and second year.
While the attendance at school is around 32%, in Junior Higher Education, around 40%.
Despite the reason for health, continuous rain, lack of hostels and fears will be covid-19 quoted as low reasons of large amounts of students in schools and colleges.
Meanwhile, when it comes to professional courses such as techniques, the percentage of attendance is not too impressive.
Many universities are said to request at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccination to allow students to campus.
“Nearly 15% to 20% attend offline classes.
Because it is not mandatory to attend the physical class, not many express the right reasons why they miss offline classes,” said V Balakrishna Reddy, President, the Association of Telangana institution employees.
