Even after 10 days of reopening of educational institutions, attendance remained at 50%, with many parents still hesitant to send their children due to fear of Covid-19.
At the moment, only 50 percent of students are coming to attend physical classes. Parents continue to be concerned about Covid and are refusing to send their children to school. Furthermore, with only two to three months until the end of the academic year, many parents believe that their wards will be promoted to the next class without conducting exams, said Yadagiri Shekar Rao, State President of the Telangana Recognized Schools Management Association (TRSMA).
Many parents are still afraid of Covid and plan to send their children to school the following academic year. What I believe is that if students do not attend classes, there will be a significant learning gap, and when they are promoted, students and teachers will face numerous challenges as a result of students missing out on many important topics from previous classes. Our school is sanitized on a daily basis, and we strictly adhere to Covid safety standards; parents should understand that schools are safe places for their children, and they should send them without hesitation, said a private school teacher.

This will have an effect on their learning process. The Health Department recently announced that the third wave has ended and that people can return to their normal lives, but parents are still hesitant to send their children to school, Nightingale High School correspondent Uma Maheshwar stated.
Many teachers working in government schools believe that it would more than just a few weeks for the attendance percentage to improve as many students and parents are still waiting and watching.
