School Reopening: No mechanism for cleaning of long-closed classrooms

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Khammam: While the government plans to reopen schools from February 1, headmasters are faced with two urgent issues.One is of cleaning the
classrooms
The piling up of dust in the rooms is too heavy
There are no sweepers and night watchmen for these schools
This is for the first time in history that schools remained closed for ten months
of pests and fungus, and many chairs have turned unusable
Involving the students in the cleanup operation, as was done on occasions in the past, is not permissible after the introduction of the
Right to Education Act.School teachers federation state president Devarakonda Saidulu said there was massive pile-up of dust in the
classrooms and it took at least five days to clean them
He demanded that the government sanction Rs 5,000 immediately for the cleanup operation
They are rotten by now and germs and micro-organism are visible in the rice packs
Some headmasters concluded that it can be used only as fodder
There are three to five quintals of rice in every school and who would take a decision on their fate, a headmaster asked.N
Bhaskar, a teacher in Konigerla mandal, suggested that the government should take a decision on these two issues before opening the schools.
