Delhi Schools reopening: The attendance status
As per the principals of the Delhi government schools, the attendance is around 70-80 percent. Thus, this data was analyzed last week. On the other hand, the private school’s attendance is as low as 10 percent. Thus, Delhi schools reopening has been a clear hit for government schools but not for private ones. People blame the bad weather conditions of the city for poor attendance. Also, some fear the third wave while others blame the hybrid learning concept.
Here is what the government schools have to say:
The weather conditions were accepted to be bad on day 1 of reopening. The attendance in government schools got better as the weather conditions improved. But, no such case happened with private ones.
The principal of Bal Vidyalaya of West Delhi’s Subhash Nagar says that they have completely terminated online classes. Hence, their attendance got better to an extent that everyone started to prefer offline classes. Precisely, the attendance of class 11th and 12th is approximately 80 percent. Also, for classes 9th and 10th, the attendance is roughly 60-70 percent.
