A meeting of parents and teachers of the children was organized for three days just before the opening of the primary school.

Through Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM), the teachers discussed with the parents about sending their children to school daily.

Teachers said that some parents are ready to send the children, but some parents also showed fear about corona infection.

The teachers urged the parents that if a child has symptoms of cold-cough-cold, fever, then do not send him to school at all. Online classes will be conducted as before for the children who do not come to school.
