Attendance high in Islamabad's schools

Students return to classrooms after six months

ISLAMABAD:

The majority of the students attended their academic activities on the second day (Wednesday) after the reopening of higher education institutions in the country after around six-month-long closure due to the coronavirus pandemic, showing maximum attendance.

The students of grade nine and above returned to school as the higher education institutions in the country have been reopened from Tuesday as per the directives of the Education Ministry.

Like other cities, the students of the federal capital were quite enthusiastic to join their academic activities physically after spending a long period at home during the coronavirus lockdown and passing through the mixed feelings of boredom and fear of the pandemic.

The students were warmly welcomed by their teachers and guided to adopt all the precautionary measures for their safe health like washing hands, wearing masks, using sanitizers, and keeping social distance for their own safety and others.
