Delhi schools reopen today for all classes with 50% capacity

All classes in the national capital Delhi will resume from today after remaining closed for 19 months in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

New Delhi: Delhi schools are reopening for all classes with 50% capacity from Monday (November 1) as announced by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia last month. The physical attendance, however, will be voluntary and parents would not be forced to send their children to school.

All classes in the national capital Delhi will resume from today after remaining closed for 19 months in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Last week, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) had announced that schools would reopen for all classes from November 1, even though teaching and learning would continue in blended mode.

The schools have been asked to ensure that there is not more than 50 per cent attendance in a class at one point of time and no student is forced to attend physical classes.
