Consent of Parents Not Mandatory for Students to Attend Offline Classes/Exams

NEW DELHI: The Delhi government on Tuesday issued fresh guidelines and said the students of classes 10 and 12 will have to now physically attend schools and appear for the offline exam.

The Directorate of Education (DoE) in this regard has sent a circular to all schools, asking them to comply with the order of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA).

"Consent of parents for attending offline classes/ exams will not be mandatory for students of classes X and XII. Schools may also deploy transportation facilities for the convenience of students and parents with Covid-appropriate behaviour as notified from time to time," the order said.

According to reports, the schools up to Class 9 and 11 will function in hybrid mode till March 31, 2022.

Even though the Centre earlier dropped the mandatory parental consent for students to physically attend schools from its guidelines, the Delhi government had earlier decided to continue with it. However, now the Delhi government said the students will have to physically attend classes and exams.
