New Delhi: Now with the relaxation of the lockdown, the Delhi government has asked all schools to propose a “micro plan” framework for reopening schools in July on Tuesday, May 26, 2020. The government has asked the school’s head to submit a framework by June 5.
The final decision will be made by Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia after discussing the school plan with all officials in charge of the district.
Before mid-March, all educational institutions in India were forced to close, and as the number of coronavirus infections in the country increased, the country faced lockdown from March 25.
The Delhi government initially conducted online classes for 9 to 12 classes and then announced the summer vacation from May 11 to June 30. Due to the relaxation of the lockdown, the school is developing its own academic calendars and considering how to classes during the COVID-19 crisis.
The Directorate of Education (DoE), in a circular issued on Tuesday, said, “To initiate this planning process the facilitators of Cluster Leadership Development Programme shall conduct a session with about 10 heads of schools (HOSs) in their respective clusters in next fortnight.”
The directorate has asked the schools to submit a report on the current status of the schools including the number of students, infrastructure, teacher support, support staff.
The DoE has asked schools to consider a teaching-learning process that can combine regular classes with online resources. Schools have also been asked to assess the accessibility of smartphones for each student.
The HoS in each school has been asked to consider aspects such as tracking each student, giving them emotional support, ensuring sanitization and maintaining social distancing when schools reopen.
