The Delhi government has directed schools here to submit the innovations carried out by teachers and management committee members to ensure education in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the practices undertaken by them for COVID-19 management. Schools in the national capital are closed since March last year. Though a number of states have partially reopened schools, the Delhi government has announced that schools will reopen only after a vaccine is available.
Teaching and learning activities moved online since the closure of schools, prompting teachers to innovate with teaching methods. “Considering teachers and SMC (School Management Committee) members have played a crucial role each in the administration of COVID-19 and improvements in the light of school closures, they should be highlighted,” the Directorate of Education (DoE) stated in a letter to school principals.
The Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) is soon launching a journal referred to as ‘Children First: Journal on Children’s Lives’ and the first problem of the journal is on the theme ‘Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of the children’, it stated. “Thus, the DCPCR has requested that teachers and SMC members may learn about the journal and may make submissions of their innovations and practices,” the DoE stated.
Teachers have been asked to submit entries by February 20. “Principals must disseminate the information among all the teachers and SMC members and encourage them to highlight the innovations,” the DoE stated.
