School reopening in Delhi: Teachers and staff members of schools under the Delhi Directorate of Education, who have not taken a single dose of a COVID-19 vaccine till October 15, will not be allowed to attend schools.
Schools and other educational institutions in Delhi are reopening today for all classes after a prolonged closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following a marked improvement in the Covid situation in the national capital, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) had last week announced that schools can resume offline sessions for all students from Monday.
Teachers and staff members of schools under the Delhi Directorate of Education, who have not taken a single dose of a COVID-19 vaccine till October 15, will not be allowed to attend schools.
“All the schools and educational institutes shall be allowed to be opened, for all the classes, in Delhi from 1st Nov. However, schools shall also continue online classes for the students who are not willing to attend classes offline,” Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish SIsodia had tweeted last week.
Parents will not be forced to send their children for offline classes, the minister had said, adding that schools will continue all teaching-learning activities in hybrid mode – online and offline.
