<p>Dear Guru: Thanks for this and other mails. I am up to my ears
right now with the field survey (until 22 August), but I will
catch up as soon as possible. We will definitely help with media
for one thing.</p>
<p>More asap,</p>
<p>Jean<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Dear Jean
I am attaching the posters that my colleague made in our Karnataka
'Open Schools' campaign
The campaign included a street protest, media articles, few press
releases which were reported in local papers. It may have helped a bit -
the Karnataka Govt kept high schools open Jan-March 2021.
Through the State SMC Federation, Niranjan and others also organized
district level protest meetings on school opening. A PIL was also put up
in Karnataka High Court on both opening schools and providing mid day
meals. The CJ was sympathetic but did not give a firm directive to open
schools. (there is a general middle class fear psychosis)
For this time, apart from posters, street protests, short videos
(children, parents, teachers) in multiple languages, social media
campaigns, apart from policy briefs, guidelines/toolkits for school
opening will be required. And the idea of the national coalition is to
share resources/ideas across groups working in different geographies.
regards,
Guru
