New Delhi: Several schools in the national capital for Classes 9 to 12 have reopened on Wednesday (September 1), after prolonged closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while many schools have also chosen to adopt a wait-and-watch approach and will be calling students only after a few weeks. Speaking to news agency ANI, a class 12 student said, “Physical classes are way better than online classes. All of my friends were waiting for this day.” Meanwhile, another Class 10 student named Kumkum, said, “There is no doubt that there is a sense of fear but after all, we’ve to study and sit for exams.”

The decision to reopen Delhi schools, colleges and coaching institutions from September 1 was taken following a marked improvement in the Covid situation in the national capital.
