In all states of the nation, the new academic session is going to begin soon. In Delhi, the school session will start from April 1 for which preparations have been made. The schools are trying their best to fit their working into the new normal scheme of things following the covid-triggered changed circumstances.
Students from Class 1-8 will not be able to attend schools in most of the states, including Delhi. However, the Delhi government has clarified that schools will not be opened for the lower classes. Apart from Delhi, several other states including Punjab, Puducherry, Gujarat, Himachal, Chandigarh, Haryana, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan have also decided to keep the schools closed for the lower classes. Amid the covid situation, schools were opened earlier in most of these states but again are planned to be closed. In the next academic session, the children's education will go online. Studies from home will again start.
Ashok Agarwal, president of the All India Parents Association and a member of the Delhi University Executive Council, told IANS: "In view of the corona situation the option of online education is a compulsion. But students should be given the opportunity to come to school where possible. According to an estimate, the school dropout rate of students has increased by 20 percent due to the closure of schools." While, the Delhi Parents Association has said it was a correct decision to not open the school.
