According to the survey conducted by the online community platform LocalCircle, about 62 percent of parents aren’t willing to send their children to school amid the state government decision to reopen school from Monday, 24 January.
Of the total, 67 per cent of respondents were men and the remaining 33 per cent women.
While the BMC has allowed schools to reopen in Mumbai, the Maharashtra government has allowed local bodies to take the decision on reopening schools after assessing the COVID-19 situation in their respective areas. However, students will not be forced to attend physical classes where schools reopen. In cities like Pune and Aurangabad, it has been decided to keep schools shut while classes continue in the online mode.
