Schools getting ready to reopen

They are putting in place necessary infrastructure

TIRUCHI As the State government has allowed schools to reopen on Wednesday, several primary, middle and higher secondary schools in the district face the mammoth task of putting the necessary infrastructure in order. There are about 350 schools including Government and Government aided in the district. Except for a few weeks in February and March they remain closed since March 2020. Some schools functioned for a few days with the selected teachers mainly to work out marks and distribute transfer certificates to the students. Since the schools were literally closed for more than 18 months, school campuses have seen wild growth of bushes and plants. With the toilets hardly used for several months, the sanitary infrastructure too is said to be in a disoriented condition. Several schools are reportedly facing the issues of electricity, power supply and drinking water supply.
