Temperature checked at the entrance of a Surat school on Monday
Rajkot/Surat/Vadodara: ‘Savere savere, yaaron se milne, ban-than ke nikle hum…marji se chale hum, school chale hum…’ While these words still held fort, the underlying mood on Monday morning across schools in Gujarat belied the inner trepidations over the lingering pandemic. Schools opened after almost 11-long months’ forced home study including two months of summer vacation.
Many parents, be it in Rajkot, Vadodara, Surat or elsewhere, seemed more inclined to wait and watch than risk sending kids to school. Many want to look at how the schools start functioning before they take a decision after Uttarayan.
