Considering the rising number of Covid-19 cases, schools in Delhi will stay closed till October 5, the Delhi Government announced on September 18, further adding that online classes will continue but teachers or staff can be asked to go to school to continue teaching.
"All schools will remain closed for all students until 05.10.2020. However, online classes and teaching-learning activities will continue as usual and HoS (Heads of Schools) are authorized to call teachers/ staff (as per requirement) for smooth conduct of online classes, teaching-learning activities and any other work," said the notification issued by the Directorate of Education of Delhi.
“In order to further strengthen and expand the Teaching-Learning Activities for classes 9 to 12, online classes are being decentralized for these classes of all the government and government-aided schools,” the notice further said.
“HoS of all schools shall ensure that a suitable Time Table with the schedule of Online Classes is developed by their schools, share it well in time with the concerned teachers and students and conduct the online classes accordingly,” it added.
Previously, the government had stated that it would allow senior students to come to schools if they want any kind of guidance from teachers. But now the government has made it clear that there will be no partial reopening of the schools in Delhi.
