A 10-point google format has been sent to schools and they have been asked to fill the name of the block, name of school-GHS or GSSS, number of students in Class 10 and 12 (session 2019-20), number of students who are in touch with the school teachers, number of students who are not responding to WhatsApp message or phone calls, number of students migrated due to lockdown.

District education officer, secondary, Swaranjit Kaur, said, “Once the lockdown will be lifted, the board will conduct the pending exams for Classes 10 and 12. We are just collecting the information from schools and if teachers remain in touch with the students, they can guide them in their preparations for the exams. We are also collecting details of the students who are not responding to communication, so that efforts can be made to trace them.”

The principal of Government Senior Secondary School, Siyaar, Jatinder Sharma, said, “We have filled the Pro forma and I am interacting with the students on daily basis and guiding them to make the best use of this time. Students have been suggested to revise the lessons and all of them are in touch with their teachers through different groups.”
