School managements in the state capital are all hopeful that in days to come the attendance rate of students will gradually go up. Mala Mehra, secretary, Unaided Private Schools Association says, “Slowly and gradually student attendance will surely increase.” Mehra also happens to be principal of Hoerner College. Many students have not given the permission letter that was made mandatory by school to rejoin offline classes. Anil Agarwal, president of Unaided Private School Association adds, “About 62% students turned up in schools and hopefully the number will go up in times to come.”Students are the happiest lot. The government has also directed secondary schools to operate two sessions a day with a cap of 50 per cent students in each half.
