Regular classes for standards 1 to 8 are due to begin on Nov 1; the CM also requested MPs, MLAs and headmasters to welcome students with sweets, flowers
Ahead of the scheduled reopening of physical classes for students in Classes I to VIII across the State from November 1, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday called upon schools and teachers to welcome children and dispel their anxiety over the novel coronavirus pandemic. He advised them to opt for stories, playing, singing and painting during the first two weeks of school.
“Even though they are familiar with schools, these students are coming to schools after a great crisis. Though a full stop has been put to Corona, people are still anxious about the virus. The anxiety is especially widely prevalent among schoolchildren. It is our duty to embrace children to dispel their anxiety,” Mr. Stalin said in a statement.
