Open schools only after vaccine is available: Parents

NEW DELHI: As re-opening of schools is debated across the country, parents in many states are not willing to send their wards to school yet. While parents in Goa have conveyed that they would feel safe sending their children to school only when cases begin to drop, those in Himachal Pradesh said they are scared as cases continue to rise.
A report compiled by the Chandigarh administration said parents will agree to schools re-opening only after a vaccine is available. The feeling is similar in Uttarakhand. Telangana schools have seen lukewarm response to even guidance classes while similar response was received in Jharkhand and Odisha.
