Nearly 2,500 parents of children studying in Delhi schools had previously made a representation before the office of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, requesting that schools not be opened this academic year due to the ongoing pandemic.
In an email to the CMO, the Delhi Parents Association sent brief contributions and opinions from 2,498 parents, almost all of whom stated that they are not comfortable sending their children to schools currently.
According to the Center’s “unblocking” guidelines, states can receive a call about the reopening of schools in phases that were previously allowed from class 9 to 12. Schools remained closed from March 16 following the instructions of the Center to contain the spread of COVID-19.
