Delhi Schools Reopen: Know What Parents And School Administration Think About The Decision

The Delhi government has decided to open schools for classes 9 to 12 from September 1 and for classes 6 to 8 from September 8.

Delhi schools for classes 9 to 12 will resume from September 1

The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) has decided to open schools from class 9 to 12 from September 1 in view of the continuous decline in corona cases. Schools for classes 6 to 8 will open from September 8. But the Expert Committee has submitted an SOP to the government in its report. At present, students of classes 10 to 12 are allowed to go to school for admission and practical work in Delhi. Let us know what the parents and principals of schools have to say about the opening of the schools.

More than 60% guardians are willing to send children to school

Talking to ABP News, Preeti Kwatra, chairperson, Petals Group of Schools, said, "We have conducted an internal survey in our school in which we asked parents if they are ready to send their child to school. More than 60 percent of parents agreed to the survey and said they were ready. On the other hand, 30 percent of parents said that they would send the children once the coronavirus vaccine was available for them ." Parents are still afraid, but we have to understand that children's education may not have suffered as much in the entire century as it has now, and if schools are closed for longer than that, it may be difficult to compensate. "

'The decision to open schools is absolutely right'

Prabhat Raman, director of Dr. Radhakrishnan International School, established in Defence Colony, says that the decision to open schools is perfect and we are ready to welcome children. In every class, the teacher will make sure that the children are wearing masks, hand washing arrangements will be made, CCTV will be monitored, and the temperature of the children will be taken. Parents are worried about sending children to school right now, but attendance will also improve as children start coming to school.

Children should have been vaccinated before sending them to school - guardian

Manita Surana, the mother of Simran Surana, who is studying at Modern Public School, Shalimar Bagh, told ABP News that she agrees and disagrees with sending children to school." If the children were vaccinated before they were sent to school, there would have been less anxiety and doubts in the mind, but it is also true that the children sitting at home have become very dull because it is not possible for children to study from home in this way. The atmosphere that the school gives, the classmates give, cannot be given at home."

Children need to go to school for overall development

Kirti's mother Priyanka Batra, who is studying in class 9, says that it is possible to teach children at home because of the efforts of the school administration but still it is necessary that children go to school for overall development. Also signing a consent form is a matter of concern for parents. A parent whose child is careless will hesitate to sign the form.

The Delhi government's drive to vaccinate teachers and staff in government schools is almost complete, but the vaccination of all teachers and staff in private schools has still not been completed, which could be a matter of concern when schools open.
