Schools to reopen in Ghaziabad, with some concerns

As per recent government orders, schools for classes 9-12th will reopen from February 7, 2022. Classes will continue being held online for younger students. However, in some schools, classes for younger children may also begin shortly.

This decision of the government to reopen the school has left the community of Ghaziabad divided. Some welcome the step, feeling it is a step towards bringing the education of children back on track. Others feel that physical classes can risk the health of children.

Since schools are reopening, pre-board will start in many places as soon as the school opens. After the pre-boards in February, the final examinations of other classes will also be held in the first week of March in offline mode.

“Schools should be reopened, I'm in full support of the government's decision. Online classes were not so practical as students were not paying attention to them, and they were not as effective. The past two years have affected the education of children drastically and so classes should resume in offline mode and exams should also be taken in offline mode.” says Jitendra Sharma, member of Ghaziabad Parent’s association.

Still, several parents are worried about the ongoing pandemic and how going to school might affect their children.

“Schools should reopen at least after a month or two as now it is not safe for the children who are not vaccinated. Moreover, schools will not take responsibility if any child gets infected, I will not send my children to offline classes till the next session," Manoj Khanna, a resident of New Panchwati, Ghaziabad and a father of two.

"Due to ongoing COVID crisis, I don't want to go to school at least for now, I'd like to attend classes through online mode", says Navya, a student of Chaudhary Chhabil das Public school, in the fifth standard.

“It is safe for the children who are fully vaccinated but what about the ones below 13 who are not vaccinated. I think that it is not safe for children who are below the sixth or seventh standards because the third wave is still not gone yet. In my view the government should reopen schools after the summer vacations", says Faisal Khan, Legal advisor of Ghaziabad parents’ association and a father of two school-going children.

Schools across Ghaziabad are taking efforts to reduce the spread of Covid. Staff was employed on February 6, 2022, for the sanitization of classrooms. All teachers taking classes have to be vaccinated.
