Delhi schools for classes Nursery to VIII reopened in Delhi on Monday after a long break due to the pandemic. Schools’ administration were seen strictly following the Covid-19 Protocol.
The students were extremely delighted to meet their friends as the schools reopened after a long break. Parents were confident to send their children back to the schools. Schools organised various activities to welcome the children.
The teachers were eagerly waiting to welcome the students. Some schools welcomed the students with dance and music, while some others decided to watch a film with the students in the school. Many other activities were also organised to help the children connect with their schools, before resuming physical education.
Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Manish Sisodia visited schools and spoke with children and their parents. “Government is equally concerned about the students’ health and education. The students are already facing a knowledge gap, which would only widen if schools were not reopened now,” he said.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that, “I am happy that after a long gap of 19 months, today schools from Nursery to Class VIII have reopened. Due to the closure of schools, school education had suffered tremendously.
However, it is expected that after schools reopening, our teachers and parents will work together to fight this learning gap of the children.”
“It would be ensured that the schools follow all the COVID protocols. It will be ensured that the children are not burdened with studies as soon as they come back to the school. The focus would be on the social-emotional well being of the students through happiness classes and mindfulness to help them accommodate with the physical classes,” he added.
Schools from class IX to XII have opened from September 1. After the schools reopening for all classes, all academic activities in schools will continue in offline and online mode in a blended manner.
