#Schoolreopening: Delhi Government teachers share first-day glimpses

NEW DELHI: As schools reopened for Classes 10 and 12 in Delhi after 10 months of COVID-19 lockdown , the Delhi Government school teachers greeted students with sanitisers and thermal screening on Monday.

Students rejoining the first offline class of the academic session showed up wearing masks and followed social distancing. Before entering school, teachers checked the temperature of each student.

As a constant reminder to follow COVID-19 standard operating procedures or SOPs, schools premises were decorated with posters encouraging students to maintain social distancing and basic hygiene protocols.

As per the Delhi Government guidelines , the students will be called to attend classes in different slots for a short period of time. Accordingly, the students were seated far apart from each other enabling social distancing within the classroom.

The Delhi education minister, Manish Sisodia, also met the students returning to the classroom and assessed the preparations on the ground.

The education minister, Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ had announced that the Central Board of Secondary Education, or CBSE 2021 exam , will be conducted from May 4 to June 10. The board is yet to announce the complete dates sheet for Class 10 and 12 students.

Some of the teachers working in Delhi Government schools shared the glimpses of the first day at school since the lockdown.

Government Sr. Secondary school at Tigadi, Dr Ambedkar Nagar sector-4 now has a contactless sanitiser dispenser along with normal sanitisers inside every classroom.
