With no dates announced yet for reopening of schools in Delhi, there are now reports that Delhi schools may not reopen before July 2021. The Delhi Government is also reportedly considering scrapping nursery admissions for the year 2021-22 and instead propose two batches of nursery and kindergarten in 2022-23.

Delhi’s Deputy CM and Education Minister Manish Sisodia reportedly told IE that there was no plans to reopen the schools as yet. “Even if we start vaccinating people by February, we will be able to vaccinate a sizeable chunk only by July. There is no possibility of reopening schools before that. We also have to look at how examinations will be conducted without putting teachers and students at risk,” he was reported as saying.

As for the Delhi Nursery admissions, a senior official was reported to have shared the government’s plans. While schools would be allowed to open admissions, but the batches would be from 2022-23.

“Schools can admit students in both nursery and kindergarten for the 2022-23 academic session, as there will be vacancies in both grades. Considering the unpredictable nature of the Covid virus, the youngest children will be the last to go to school in any case. In such a situation, to have another set of young children whose entire academic year will be online is a little unfair to them as well as to their parents,” a senior official reportedly told IE.

This year too the batches of students of nursery that started in April was shifted online. With the nursery and kindergarten been elementary to the child’s learning and developmental needs, it was imperative for them to attend classes. The official further added that it was not fare to students or parents.

There is no confirmation or official release regarding the same as yet. The government has not shared its plans to reopen the schools. The last official release was when the Delhi Government shared that schools in Delhi would remain closed till December 31.

As for vaccines, they are expected to be rolled out in the country from end of January. The sources in the government have shared that the possibility of reopening schools only post the vaccination drive is being considered.

Meanwhile, schools in neighbouring Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have reopened for classes 10 and 12 students. Many private schools in Delhi have expressed concerns and sought partial permission to allow students of classes 10 and 12 to go to schools for clearing doubts.

Our team also read the news today morning.

https://indianexpress.com/article/education/delhi-may-scrap-nursery...

But nothing  can be confirmed now as this is just a proposal.

Most of the schools would not agree with it . ( Loss of one year fees for more than 2000 schools in Delhi) and Admissions are  being done in Noida, Gurgaon NCR for 2021-22.

What will happen to EWS/DG parents.

The rules are made by Hon' HC for age and other criteria for EWS/DG cat.

Moreover this statement  regarding nursery admissions  has not been given by Education Min or Dir Education.( No name has been given in the article).

Also Minority schools have autonomy from Hon'HC and they do not come under DOE to start admissions.

We don't want to speculate, let wait and watch for DOE guidelines.

As per the below link, Delhi govt is planning to scrap the nursery admissions. But above in the comments you have mentioned that few of the Delhi schools have started the admissions process. Any idea if this news is correct?
