Schools across city prepare to reopen for higher classes today 4th January 2021

As January 4, the date set by local authorities for reopening of schools in Pune, approaches, many schools across the city are grappling with the challenges of reopening amid a pandemic 

Dr Gulshan Gidwani, principal, St Mira’s College, pointed out to problems beyond classroom lectures once students are on campus.

“Our junior college strength is 120 students per class, so we have decided to allow 40 students at a time per classroom. Even if that happens, there will be more than 500 students on campus. It takes two minutes per student to check temperature, sanitise and make entry in logbook. We have assigned six staffers specially for this and created six different spots at entry point, but even then, each staff will spend 2 hours in just this exercise every day. Also, our teaching staff is limited. Managing the academic schedule so that only one third of students come in at a time as well as completing syllabus is going to be challenging,” she said.

While sanitisation measures have been stepped up and physical distancing norms are being worked out, school authorities are worried about the distribution of workforce and online-offline distribution of students because only some parents have agreed to send pupils to school.

Anvit Pathak, director of Millenium School, said only the parents of 300 students from Classes IX to XII, out of a total strength of more than 500, have filled out the online consent forms.

several states and union territories (UTs), including Delhi, are still reluctant about reopening schools amid fears of the new COVID-19 strain. However, the Ministry of Home Affairs has given its nod to reopen schools and educational institutions in a "graded manner". Here's a state-wise list on reopening of schools across the country:

Earlier this month, the Allahabad High Court expressed its concern about the reopening of schools in Uttar Pradesh amid the Covid-19 pandemic. "It has been informed that schools and colleges in the state of UP have been opened since December 7. It is a matter of concern whether the teachers and students would follow the Covid-19 guidelines. There is always a possibility that young children might violate the guidelines," a bench of justices Siddhartha Varma and Ajit Kumar observed.
