Students being divided into batches as part of bio-bubble model proposed by Education Department
“We like to meet in person daily rather than sitting at our homes attending online classes,” said the frontbenchers in Class V at Government Higher Secondary School, Chowara, near Aluva, as they met each other after a long gap of over one-and-a-half years, on Monday morning.
Their smiles were hidden behind their masks as they turned eloquent when asked about the precautions to be taken inside the classroom. “We have to sit at a distance from each other and not share anything with others,” they said as their class teacher distributed chocolates on the first day of the school reopening.
“Students will come in two batches a week as part of the bio-bubble model proposed by the Education Department. We have divided the 38 students in two divisions of Class 5 into two batches of 19 children each. Today, 13 of the 19 in the first batch came to school,” said the teacher.
