Management helpless and parents upset due to fear of Corona, neither books nor uniform

The corona pandemic has shaken people. In January 2022, a wave of Corona died and when schools opened, the faces of children studying online, sitting at home for two years, including Delhi-NCR, blossomed. Parents also heaved a sigh of relief, but the market of schools is still very much shocked due to the effect of Corona. The latest case of corona found in three schools of Delhi-NCR has added to the trouble.

The condition is that students of all reputed public schools have to wander for copy-books and uniforms. Even the schools do not have the answer. Now the latest case of corona found in three schools of Delhi-NCR has added to the trouble.

Entire supply chain disrupted

The owner of Sony Uniform, who prepares the clothes of dozens of famous schools in Delhi, says that they are emptying the stock by selling old goods. The finished goods are not arriving and the companies producing the students' clothes have not started the dress work yet. Ashwin of Janata Uniform told that the schools suddenly opened. Whereas the factories making school dress had not made such preparations in advance. So the entire supply chain is disrupted.

School bus contracts become expensive

Janta Book Depot, a HarperCollins textbook dealer, says that this time schools have suddenly opened, but due to the experience of last year, books are still not available. The principal of a well-known school says that this is not the problem. School buses were parked for two years. Most of the schools kept the bus service on contract basis. Now students have to chew nako gram in commuting from home to school. According to a source related to the management of Air Force Bal Bharti School, Lodi Estate, every contract from the school bus to the school bus is being done at about one and a half times the cost. It is said that even after the increased price, the school education market does not want to take any risk.

DTC also raised its hands from giving buses

The management of the famous school of Barakhamba Road informed that DTC buses used to provide services to them. It used to be a contract based service, but this time DTC also gave up. So the public school has resorted to private buses, but this contract is being done at a higher cost than before. On the other hand, school children have to struggle a lot for books and uniforms.

Three schools closed, what should we say to the parents?

Listen to the principal of a reputed school in South Delhi. He says that the news of the next wave of corona infection has started coming in the media. Regarding this, the phone calls of the parents, their fear has started coming to the fore. On the other hand, the prices of everything including copy-books, dresses have gone up significantly. Like Corona has made the entire market insensitive and people everywhere are saying that the price of raw materials has increased a lot.

then start online studies

Sources say that the schools are also facing a lot of difficulty in collecting the salaries of the staff including teachers and the expenses of running the school. The existing fee structure is not enough, the parents are already worried about the new fee structure. The principal says that in view of the possibility of the upcoming corona wave, the outline of the new fee is also not being decided. Sources say that 16 cases of corona infection were found simultaneously in Khaitan Public School, Noida. Of these, 13 children and three teachers were found infected. Similarly, after getting infected in two more schools, all the three public schools have decided to go for online education.

Great enthusiasm among children, but what to do?

All schools, including Sardar Patel, have started teaching in their junior and senior wings. All schools including Modern Public, GD Goenka, Step Bystep, DPS, Airforce Bal Bharti have opened schools for children with utmost care. Renowned school teachers Sanjay Pathak, Amit Malik, Sudesh Sharma and teachers Meenakshi, Neha Bhardwaj, Shweta Chawla etc. say that after the school opens, the enthusiasm of the students is building up. Students are also mingling with their friends, but the next wave of corona is scaring us too. Although the previous wave was less lethal, nothing can be said about the future. Sanjay Pathak says that the school always wants classes to run. He says that solid and effective education is not possible through online medium. Working education is also not being done, but nothing can be done about corona infection. This pandemic is deadly.
