The
most significant aspect of continued unlocking of public activity during the COVID-19
pandemic is the decision of many States to reopen schools. While some states
have allowed pupils back on campus from November 2020, Schools in Tripura reopened for the students of 10th and 12th
standards in the month of December after remaining closed for months amid
Covid-19 pandemic.
Attendance
at schools remains voluntary as per the Centre’s guidelines, it also specify
that parents can decide what their wards should do. Reopening
of schools became essential for class 10th and 12th students ahead of their
board exams.
Holy
Cross Educational Foundation instructed all its unit to re-open the School and
resume regular classes for Class 9, 10, and 12 following a set of restrictions
and guidelines, including installation of hand washing facilities or
sanitization facilities, thermal scanning on arrival, social distancing and use
of masks, mandatorily inside the school premises. The students were also
allowed to attend the class only after getting a written consent letter from
their parents to attend classes. The Units have also taken additional measures
to reduce the student load and to maintain physical distance in classrooms by
arranging odd-even and boys-girls alternate day to attend the classes.
Gradually
the government gave the permission to start the regular classes for the rest of
the students in primary standards, All Holy Cross Educational Foundation units as
instructed kept a basin for washing hands and a poster of Covid-19 guidelines
at the Entrance of the School gate and inside the campus for the students to
follow.
