Delhi schools to re-open from November 1: all you need to know

After more than 18 months, all schools in Delhi will be permitted to re-open for all classes— including at the primary level— from November 1.

Primary and middle school grades—up to class VIII—have not been opened for even a single day since schools in Delhi shut as a precaution against Covid-19 on March 12, 2020. Schools had opened shortly for classes IX to XII, starting January this year, before closing completely on April 9 because of the second wave of the pandemic.

They opened again for classes IX to XII on September 1, but there had been no approval for schools to open for younger children.

At Wednesday’s DDMA meeting, it was decided that all schools—government and private—may be permitted to open for all grades on November 1.
