On the first day of opening the government schools in Haryana received a tepid response with only 3% of the students of classes 9 to 12 showing up. In government institutions, out of 38,925 students enrolled in classes 9 to 12, only 1,119 students were present in all the government schools across the city. The class-wise data showed that 302 students of class 9, 360 students of class 10, 190 of class 11 and 267 of class 12 reported to the school for the sessions or to access libraries and laboratories. While all the schools followed the standard operating procedures like testing every teacher and sanitising students at the gate, many adopted their own set of protocols to ensure social distancing. While government schools still managed to attract a few students, the response in the private schools that opened today was worse. In many schools like CD International, not a single student turned up for the brief sessions.
