Things were difficult for a few days because of the heavy rain, but as of September 9, schools and universities in Punjab are back in session. And this is what the state government said to make things right in the schools again. He said that there will be a set plan for when all of Punjab’s schools and universities reopen. Students, parents, and teachers are all pleased with this choice. But the kids can’t go back until they are safe.
What caused schools and colleges to shut down?
Harsh storms used to hit Punjab and destroy buildings. These storms made daily life difficult for people and forced families to move. The government told schools to close on August 27 to keep kids safe. It was hard or even dangerous to go to many schools and colleges during this time because of heavy rain and other damage. It was important to keep people safe during the short shutdown while rescue and recovery work went on.
When colleges and schools start up again?
• The Department of Education has a plan for a slow reopening:
• On September 8, everyone went back to work in public schools.
• Their main job was to clean the houses and check for damage.
• Kids went back to school on September 9 as soon as it was clear that everyone was okay.
• There are private schools, colleges, universities, and polytechnics.
Let’s get ready and help staff on September 8.
• The kids came back on September 9 after being checked for safety.
• With this system, schools won’t be able to reopen until they’ve been checked out and cleaned properly.

There is a significant amount of freedom in the district.
Different parts of Punjab are not always safe. Now it’s up to the deputy commissioners to decide how long to keep hurt areas closed.
As an example:
Sangrur says that schools opened again in stages, with staff returning on September 8 and children on September 9. The water level is still high, so 66 government schools in Ferozepur and Fazilka will stay closed until new orders are sent out.
Based on this plan, when to go back will depend on how things are going in the area. (This is from the TOI Chandigarh.)
Before opening again, it makes sure it’s safe.
The government has said many times how important it is to have strict rules for safety:
• Building officials and school staff look for structural damage, water damage, and places that could be dangerous.
• There are drives to clean up places like schools, parks, and bathrooms. Cities, towns, and panchayats all help with this.
• Reporting damage to the Deputy Commissioners is crucial, as they must immediately become aware of any breaches in school buildings.
• Watch out for your health. The area is kept clean so that waterborne illnesses don’t spread when the kids come back.
• When it comes to going back to school in Punjab, safety is the most important thing.
What the rain did to the school
Many kids had trouble learning because of the rain. Despite the closure of many schools, educators attempted to deliver their lessons online. But some kids couldn’t connect to the internet because they didn’t have the right equipment. There were many issues in the country. When school and college start up again, people in Punjab shouldn’t have to worry about these things. They can go back to school now.
Long-term closures hurt kids’ mental, emotional, and social health as well as their schoolwork. When kids go back to school, they feel stronger and better able to deal with change.
Why it’s important for Punjab to open up again
This is positive news for everyone in the state, not just the kids. Schools are now open again. The change leads to many good things:
• Since school is still going on, kids can go back to class and study for tests that are coming up.
• kids and parents both feel better now that things are back to normal.
• After a disaster, schools often become places where people can help each other. This helps the community get back on its feet.
This move shows how strong Punjab is and how badly they want to get better quickly. There will be trouble soon.
Even though it’s open again, things are still not right:
• Several schools still require repairs to restore their functionality.
• If the flood caused harm to your family, it might be challenging to resume school immediately.
• Wet areas are more susceptible to diseases spread by water.
They should monitor the situation closely and provide assistance when required.
What This Shows Us
What happened in Punjab shows how important it is for schools to be ready for events like these. These schools should have plans ready.
• We need to improve the built environment to better withstand adverse weather conditions.
• Become ready for the digital world by making it simpler to learn on the web.This way, even if there are problems, things can still go on.
• What Punjab has learnt will help it deal with problems better in the future if it uses them.
Things adults and kids should do :
Pay attention to what the city or town government says to make sure the kids’ return to school goes easily.
• Don’t send kids to school unless you’re sure it’s safe.
• Tell the kids not to become dirty.
• Help clean up the areas around schools more.
This will help parents and teachers return to school.
Final Thought:
Schools and colleges in Punjab will be able to open again on September 9. As we move forward, this is a positive step toward peace. The government is being fair because it wants to make things easy for people in every area and take things slowly.
School and college doors are now open again for Punjabi kids, who can learn, be a part of their communities, and feel safe. However, there are still issues that need to be resolved. Previously, the state was able to recover after a significant event. They can start getting better now that school is back in session.
