"But with the consistent efforts of the government, the situation gradually improved with a secure atmosphere and students also started to express their willingness to join the classes," an official said.

Officials added that students know, without receiving a proper education their future would not be secured. For the last two years, especially this year, the administration as well as students, are very much satisfied after schools remained open.

Director of Education Kashmir, Tasaduq Husain told ANI, "First of all, it's a compliment for us that after a long time parents are satisfied with the education sector but unfortunately during the past due to the strikes and shutdowns the education sector was badly hit,"

"Because for the last twenty to twenty-five years, leading schools always remained closed and students suffered a lot. But now the situation is totally different and this year schools remained fully functional for two hundred twenty days which is a big success for us," Tasaduq Hussain said. (ANI)
