Attendance in schools picks up in north Kashmir

Srinagar, Aug 22 (UNI) Attendance of students in twin districts of Kupwara and Bandipora has further improved while elsewhere in the Kashmir valley, including Srinagar, it was very poor due to prevailing uneasy situation on Thursday.
All educational institutions, including universities, engineering and other professional colleges were closed from August 5, when Article 370 and 35 A were scrapped and Jammu and Kashmir was divided into two union territories-- Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, evoking sharp and spontaneous reaction.
However, the government ordered reopening of primary schools from August 19 and Middle schools from Wednesday. However, majority schools in Srinagar wore a deserted look though 60 to 70 per cent teachers and other staff attended their respective institutions. Private schools also remained closed.
