Delhi government has decided on reopening the schools in Delhi only after the public and all the front line staff will be vaccinated with the Covid-19 vaccines which will be available shortly, said Manish Sisodia, the Deputy Chief Minister.
The government of Delhi is now conceptualizing on how early the schools should be reopened considering the upcoming board examination.
Delhi School authorities will have to apply and administer both SOPs and guidelines provided by the Delhi government. During December 2020, the Deputy CM and Education Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia, told that there are no plans of reopening the schools.
He said that even if the vaccination process starts in February 2021, only half of the population will be covered till July 2021. Therefore, reopening of schools before vaccinating is chanceless.
“The Delhi government will also look on how to conduct the upcoming board exams without putting the teacher's and student's life at risk,” said Manish Sisodia.”

However, the principals and the authorities of Delhi Schools do not favour cancelling the admissions for the year 2021-22 in the view of the pandemic even though the Delhi government insists that no decision has been taken in this regard.
