Delhi Schools reopens today after a hiatus of 10 months. Hence, this is the first time after the lockdown that all government and private Delhi schools reopen. However, the reopening is only for the senior students of class 10th and 12th.
Educational Institutions in the national capital have been shut since March. However, several other states had partly initiated the phased reopening of schools and colleges from October 2020. Hence, they followed the guidelines set by the education minister for the reopening of educational institutions. However, the National capital could not take this step back then due to a huge number of covid-19 cases.
