India Schools welcome students back to physical classes in several states after a suspension of offline teaching for nearly 18 months due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Indian authorities have given the green light to partially reopen more schools despite apprehension from some parents and signs that infections are picking up again.
Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, Assam, and Puducherry- are reopening the schools today. Schools and colleges in at least six more states will reopen in a gradual manner with health measures in place throughout September. Meanwhile, some parents say that they will be holding their children back.
The recent increment in daily infection in India has raised questions over reopening schools, with some warning against it. Others say the virus risk to children remains low and opening schools is urgent for poorer students who lack access to the Internet, making online learning nearly impossible.
