The time to say goodbye to the year 2021 has come. When we retrospect the series of events that occurred in our past days, it is obvious that tribulations can approach our lives anytime. Following a surge in cases of the corona-virus disease since March-2020, India has become the third-worst affected country worldwide. Even today the world has not been emancipated from the long-lasting grip of this perilous pandemic. In such a situation if we stand together to fight this pandemic with sheer confidence, we can definitely overcome it. At the end of the year 2021, the situation in India has finally improved a bit, and the life of the people is coming on the normal track. Schools and colleges are on their wheels on regular basis in this neo-normal phase. Learners were kept bereft of offline
schooling for a long time.Most of the educational institutions, taking technology as a sole medium, started to offer their courses online to make sure education is not disrupted due to the pandemic. However one should accept the fact that there is no alternative to offline schooling.Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. Golden doors of the schools have been unlocked and classrooms are filled with blissful and smiley faces of the learners. It is inevitable to take special precautions following the guidelines given by the government because the situation is not yet normal, and Corona often comes changing its appearance.
Parents should make sure that their children bring their own warm water and homemade fresh snacks to school and do not share them with other learners. It is important for the safety of the child to wear a mask as advised by a doctor. Parents must also wear masks when they come to school and follow strict guidelines. If the child feels any minor or major physical problem, he should be examined by a doctor first and sent to a school or other public place only if the doctor says so. If a child in school has a positive case of COVID-19, it can affect the study of all the children in the school. Adequate care should be taken in this regard as the entire school may be ordered to close completely till the appointed day.
Not only at school but also at home, parents must follow certain guidelines. It is imperative for the health of the family members to take a bath with soap or clean their hands, feet, and mouth properly when they come from outside. Now it is very important to avoid going to public events like weddings or village reunions. One transmitted member of the household affects the whole family. Therefore care should be taken as much as possible.
Our education or occupation will continue if we take proper care together. I hope for a healthy life for all and pray to God that New Year – 2022 brings new happiness, new goals, new achievements, and many new inspirations to your life.
