“However, the child should only be called to school with parental consent using the standard procedure attached,” the order adds.

The Delhi government has also required schools to keep records of children who attend school. However, these recordings should not be used for visiting purposes as sending the child to school is completely voluntary for the parents.

“Although the records of children coming to school are kept, they should not be used for visiting purposes, as sending the child to school is completely voluntary for the parents,” the order states.

Schools in Delhi have been closed since March last year, to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. While several states partially reopened schools after October, this will be the first time in 10 months that students from the state capital have returned to their campuses. The students took online courses.
