 FORMAL FUNCTION

The headmistress gave us the permission to enter the classroom without making any disturbance to the ongoing classes. So without interrupting the classes we visited some of the classes and have some conversation with the student . Due to  the pandemic situation the number of students in each class is less. The students are provided with the high-tech classrooms and  some of the classes have a reading corner like any library.
