Hyderabad, Dec. 3 -- Teachers in Telangana have urged the government to consider reopening the schools in the state in the second week of December.

They said that as the schedule of online classes will come to an end on 7th December, physical classes need to be started.

In order to ensure social distancing, M Ravinder, president of Telangana Progressive Teachers Federation said that each day, only one-third of the students can be asked to attend physical classes.

Asking the reason for not allowing schools to reopen, Chava Ravi, general secretary of United Teachers Federation said that when all the other establishments are allowed to operate, why educational institutes are not given permission to conduct physical classes.
