After Covid-19 surge, all schools in Delhi closed

Hindustan Times  

In the wake of a sharp spike in Covid-19 cases in Delhi, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday announced the closure of all schools and colleges in the city, suspending all in-person academic activities until further orders. Most of Delhi’s 2,168 schools are affiliated to the CBSE, which had announced last year that it will conduct practical exams from March till the last theory paper in June. In a directive issued on Friday evening, director of education Udit Prakash Rai said, “In view of the sudden surge in the cases of Covid-19 in Delhi, all the heads of government, government-aided and unaided recognised schools are hereby informed that conduct of all academic and examination activities through physical mode shall remain suspended with immediate effect till further orders.” “They are further directed to ensure that no student of classes 9 to 12 is called to school in person for any kind of academic or examination activity like practice of practicals, mid-term and annual examination related work i.e., practical, project submission, assessments, etc. Though school authorities are able to enforce Covid protocols inside the premises, overcrowding outside schools could have put children at risk.” Most of Delhi’s 2,168 schools are affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, which had announced last year that it will conduct practical exams from March till the last theory paper in June. Now with cases rising again, we don’t know what to do and have to wait for further instructions.” While Minj suggested that CBSE might consider forming a revised assessment policy like last year for the board students as they had little practice for the practical exams, Jha said even an extension could work.
