Delhi schools reopening: Acknowledging the fact that COVID cases are declining in the state as well as the country, Delhi schools have been reopened from today. The schools have been reopened for all the wings including primary, and secondary, and senior secondary. The schools have been reopened under a few conditions. While most of instructions that have to be followed are mentioned in Directorate of Education circular, heads of schools will have to be involved too. They need to make sure that children attend offline classes only after they have written permission forms signed by their parents. At a time only 50% capacity is allowed in school premises.

Schools to follow blended mode of learning

The circular released by the Directorate of Education reads, “Time table is to be made as per the capacity/occupancy limit of the classrooms/Labs following COVID appropriate behaviour. As the situation varies from school to school, the school schedule may be staggered to avoid crowding in the classrooms and at the school's main entrance/exit gate. The lunch breaks may also be staggered to avoid crowding. The blended mode of the teaching-learning process (online and offline) should be continued.
