The Delhi government has called a meeting on March 26 to discuss measures that can be taken if need arises to keep schools closed after March 31 in view of coronavirus outbreak.
"As per the current plan, schools are likely to reopen on April 1 and resume normal teaching and learning in new academic session if situation becomes normal. However, incase we need to close schools further, we need to have an alternate plan so that academic loss of students can be minimised," Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said in an official order.
"A meeting has been called on March 26 to decide future plan of action. Directorate of Education (DOE) officials, teachers and private school principals will be attending the meeting.
"The participants are encouraged to join through video conferencing," Sisodia added.
Schools in Delhi are closed till March 31 in view of COVID-19 outbreak while board exams are going on.
