Amid rising cases of coronavirus, the Delhi government has asked all schools not to call any classroom students in the new academic session until further orders. The Directorate of Education issued notice on Thursday that the study should be conducted in digital mode for the 2021-22 academic session.
By order, only students in grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 of the 2020-21 academic session will be able to come to the school for guidance. With the approval of their parents, these students will be able to come to school for tests, practicalities, project work and internal assessment tasks.
Any student up to 8th grade will not be called to school under any circumstances.
The Directorate of Education issued a circular last month, directing all government schools to start a new session from April 1 and conduct classes online to ninth grade.

The new session began formally in Delhi’s government and private schools on Thursday, but as the number of Covid-19 cases is on the rise, students remain at home, which has not seen any movement on campus. Last year, schools were closed just days before the lockdown went into effect to prevent corona virus infection. In April of last year, new semester studies began online and the situation is similar in April this year.
