Corpn schools gear up for reopening

Coimbatore: City corporation schools have completed 90% of cleaning work to welcome primary and middle school students from November 1.
Corporation educational officer K Pandiarajasekaran said the cleaning work at the schools was progressing in full swing. “At least 90% of work has been completed so far and the schools will be fully ready for reopening soon.”
He said they had asked headmasters not to force students to attend the physical classes compulsorily. “We, however, expect most of the students to turn out, as the parents are eagerly awaiting reopening of schools. In recent times, we haven’t seen any spread of Covid-19 infection among the school students. Classes will be conducted without compromising the safety protocols. Hence, parents can be assured about the safety of their wards in schools.”
Another official said they had held a meeting with headmasters and corporation commissioner had instructed them to conduct the classes in a safe manner and stock face masks, sanitisers and thermal scanners at the schools. “Another round of meeting is likely to be scheduled before the schools reopen for primary and middle school students.”
