Will decide on reopening Delhi schools based on other states’ experience: CM

States, including Himachal Pradesh, Odisha, Gujarat and Haryana, have announced the reopening of schools in parts, with curbs in place.

Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said the government will review the reopening of schools in other states and chalk out a strategy soon based on their experience, even as he stressed on the importance of vaccinating children.

“Ideally, we will not open schools until everyone is vaccinated. However, seeing that other states are reopening schools, we will review how it goes for them and accordingly plan out. We have been receiving a lot of messages from parents regarding the safety of the children and want to assure that the safety of the children will be our priority,” said Kejriwal on the side lines of an event at Timarpur MLA Dilip Pandey’s office on Friday evening.
