If malls, shops, markets, restaurants and bars can reopen, then why not schools? The #BackToSchool movement has gained momentum on social media, as several educationists and academicians along with prominent personalities from the country took to Twitter.

While the state government’s education department has taken a major U-turn from declaring reopening of schools from August 17 to withdrawing the government resolution just two days after it was issued, the public has contradictory opinions.  While everyone understands the risks, educationists demand to begin with baby steps where phase-wise reopening can start a new normal.
