Schools for students in senior classes are already open though. Dr. Mala Gupta, Principal of Springdales School, Pusa Road, informs that all students coming to school have to bring an NOC from their parents and this is sent to the Directorate of Education along with attendance reports. “I have been able to get children for Classes XI and XII for the exams. But children in other classes, including class IX are not willing to come. I even received anonymous threats on mail when I declared the school open. Once the exams got over,students stopped coming, giving excuses that they are going out of station or on vacation,” said another principal on condition of anonymity.There is little that schools can do, they say. And while conceding that online classes and markings are unsatisfactory and often faked, ‘we have no option but to live with this’, they add. The situation is unlikely to get normal before April, 2022, they maintain.
