Delhi schools reopening for classes 9th and 12th will be initiated from tomorrow, i.e. 5th February 2021. Manish Sisodia, Deputy Chief Minister, Delhi, announced this in a press conference. However, Classes 10th and 12th have already started with their physical classes from 18th January 2021.
Hence, in this 2nd phase of Delhi Schools reopening, classes 9th and 11th are considered. Resumption of physical classes is necessary as students need access to libraries, laboratories, and other facilities. Hence, classes 10th and 12th have also been allowed as they appear for their practical exams. Also, the students have to prepare for the upcoming Board Examinations which will be held via physical mode.
Deputy CM, Mr. Sisodia also says that the government will also be opening colleges offering degree and diploma courses.
