Schools and colleges in Dakshina Kannada district are reporting a drop in attendance amid concerns over Covid-19. Some parents are wary of sending the children to campuses.
Students from Kerala are missing classes because of the mandatory Covid-19 testing requirement. People travelling from the neighbouring state must furnish a Covid-19 negative certificate to enter Karnataka. Vittal K, the principal of Kittel Memorial PU College, told STOI that a girl student from Kerala had not attended classes for the past few weeks. “It is due to the mandatory RTPCR test. We will have a clear picture of the attendance in PU colleges on Monday,” he said.
A professor from Mangalore University College in Hampankatta said that local students were also avoiding classes. One deemed university has temporarily shut its constituent colleges and Mangalore University has suspended PG classes on its main campus after cases were reported there.
