  • Circular

    Directorate of Education said schools reopening to help students

  • A circular of the Directorate of Education (DoE), Delhi underlined that schools are being reopened so that students can get their doubts cleared by teachers. However, not much was explained about students who would continue with online learning.

    The circular directed schools to conduct internal assessments and maintain records so that the CBSE's website is updated with marks.

    SOPs must be honored, DoE added.

  • Guidelines

    Schools in containment zones can't reopen: DoE

  • As per DoE, only schools outside containment zones were permitted to function. Students, teachers, and staff members from these zones can't attend either.

    Only asymptomatic child/staff will be allowed to enter; a thermal screening is mandatory at entry gates and so is hand sanitization.

    The campus has to be thoroughly sanitized and items like masks, disinfectants, soaps should be available, said the DoE's circular.

  • Details

    Students must always wear masks, maintain distance

  • The DoE said students must always wear masks properly on school premises. Everyone must maintain a safe distance from one another and the school authorities have to ensure students don't gather, the guidelines added.

    If anyone feels unwell, they must be taken to a quarantine room/ventilated space/outdoors.

    Schools mustn't encourage routine guest visits and if parents come, precautions must be followed.

  • Dates

    Pre-board examinations will start from March for Class 12

    To note, the CBSE practical examinations will start on March 1.

    The written examinations for both Classes 10 and 12 will be conducted between May 3 and June 10.

  • Directions

    Head of schools to make time table, get it approved

  • DoE also revealed guidelines to help schools conduct pre-board examinations, practical, etc. in the middle of a raging health crisis.

    The body said the school's head has to develop a time table "as per capacity/occupancy limit of the classroom/Labs (not more than 12-15 students) following COVID appropriate behavior."

    This time table has to be approved by District Deputy Director Education (DDE) Zone.

  • Quote

    Timings have to be staggered to avoid crowding: DoE

  • "School timings are to be staggered (with a gap of at least 15 minutes) to avoid crowding at the school's main entrance/exit gate. Head of school to make a plan and get the same approved by DDE (Zone)," added DoE.

  • Reactions

    Some parents are still apprehensive, fear children can get infected

  • Reportedly, the order was welcomed by Jyoti Arora, Principal of Mount Abu Public School in Rohini.

    "It was much needed to prepare students for hands-on practice for the forthcoming CBSE practical exams," she told HT.

    However, Sumit Vohra, whose child studies in Class 10 in DPS Vasant Kunj, underlined, "I will not send my child to the school till the situation becomes totally normal."
