About 10 percent students showed for the first day of school from primary sections in Indore on Tuesday.
Schools were permitted to open their doors for primary classes on Monday and Classes I to V started in Madhya Pradesh from Monday. Schools did not open in Indore due to a local holiday.
According to the guidelines, classes were to be held on the first day with 50 per cent capacity. Permission from parents was mandatory for children to attend classes in schools. Following the instructions of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Classes I to V have been permitted to resume in the state.
Guidelines have been issued by the State Education Centre regarding the opening of classes for young children. Lokesh Jangid, additional mission director of the State Education Centre, said that the children of the second class will be taught the old syllabus of the first class only.
Being the first day, the number of children in all the classes was very less. The children were admitted to the classes only after obtaining consent letter from the parents in the schools.
Noting that children are very young, teachers repeatedly asked students to follow covid-19 protocol. They were reminded of not taking out the mask and keeping social distance.
No buses, consent letters checked first
Since buses are still not plying, parents came to drop children to school. As the parents came to schools, they were asked to submit a consent form.
Those who had not brought it were provided another form and asked to give written consent, before dropping the child. All the consent forms were verified before allowing children in the school.
It was mandatory to sanitize hands and wear a mask for all the children. “It is necessary for us to take the consent forms from parents as per rules and we cannot take the risk,” Gopal Soni, state vice-president of association of MP private schools, said.
Fewer students since it was day 1
Yogesh Dhande, the upper division teacher of Excellence School, i.e. Bal Vinay Mandir U.M. Vidyalaya, said, “There were 290 children from class I to V.”
He added that the number of children was less, being the first day.
“Today only about 10 percent of the children have come and children were admitted to the classes only after the consent of the parents,” Dhande said.
Kids happy, teachers worried
With the start of classes from 1st to 5th, when the children reached the school, some children were very happy.
Holding the hand of the parents, hanging the bag on the back, the children reached the school with happy faces. The joy of coming to school after such a long time was clearly visible on the faces of some children.
At the same time, the teachers were a little worried about the small children. Teachers were frightened about handling children and ensuring their safety.
