Covid-19 in Delhi: Schools wait for protocol, say closures will set back

Hindustan Times  

Schools in the city said they are waiting for directions and guidelines from the directorate of education to act on positive Covid-19 cases on campus, adding that they hoped institutions are not required to be shut, and that closures will only exacerbate the learning gaps that have come about over the past two years. Even as the Delhi Disaster Management Authority plans to deliberate upon the return of the mask mandate in the Capital on Wednesday, some private schools resumed hybrid classes for students in primary classes as a precautionary measure. However, even as the Delhi Disaster Management Authority plans to deliberate upon the return of the mask mandate in the Capital on Wednesday, some private schools resumed hybrid classes for students in primary classes as a precautionary measure. In a circular addressed to parents on Tuesday, the school said, “To prevent any accidental infection, the school has decided to run online classes as well as offline classes for all grades from 1 to 5.” The school added that while parents could opt for online classes, there will be no refund of the school or transport fee. Tania Joshi, principal of The Indian School, said that while the mask mandate needed to be brought back as a precautionary measure, most parents and teachers were opposed to the closure of schools due to the learning deficit that students were already grappling with.
