Delhi Deputy Chief Minister interacted with the principals of 1,000 government schools in Delhi and asked them to prepare a micro-plan for reopening of schools which have been closed for over 2 months due to nationwide lockdown in wake of coronavirus outbreak.

“I appeal to you to lead an in-depth brainstorming at school level involving all key stakeholders and come up with a micro-plan on how to lead the transition when the time comes,” he told principals in an online interaction.

“The reason we are following an elaborate planning process because we need to keep many factors in mind before taking a decision. It is not just about maintaining social distancing or sanitisation alone or calling one set of classes to school and not the others. Any decision will have far-reaching implications on children and their families.

He said it is not just about learning a few lessons from the textbooks, but the lessons of life itself. Therefore, any plan should keep in mind all possible situations.

Sisodia said, however, he is hopeful that despite the change in the circumstances, they will together set new standards of school education again.
