Parents’ concerns include mask-wearing, sharing of food and water and how to ensure children regularly wash their hands on campus
Following the State government’s for students of classes 1 to 8 from November 1, schools are scheduling virtual and in-person sessions with parents to handle their queries and receive feedback on what safety measures can be implemented.
This, they say, is in addition to the measures they expect will be specified in the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) which will shortly be released by the government, as was done when campuses reopened for classes 9 to 12.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
