The Zonal secretary laments that if the government can keep running then the education sector should also be equipped with all that is needed to sustain the pandemic in such a way that will not paralyze the educational activities in the state.

Our government got no reason to close our schools when other activities are ongoing. At least, government can reopen the schools by mandating the school administrators and other stakeholders to ensure social distancing and distribution of classes into batches.

It is high time our government device a better means of education that match the balance of the 21st century. Students should not feel the heat of the pandemic more than other sectors if government really have the future of the young ones at heart.
