As Schools Reopen In Some States, What's The Way Forward

Chhattisgarh, Punjab and Uttarakhand have decided to reopen schools for certain classes. Chhattisgarh schools are set to reopen for students of classes 10 and 12, Punjab schools are set to reopen for 'all classes' and Uttarakhand schools are now reopening for classes 9 to 12. Many activists and education experts are demanding schools reopen soonest in some form, to allow children back in physical classes as too much time has been lost. However some are concerned about what the new normal will be like amid the pandemic as children in the country still await a vaccine.
