Kids orphaned during pandemic should be given free education in the same school: Delhi Government
The Delhi Government has taken an initiative and has directed all the schools in the capital to ensure that students who have lost a parent or both after March last year must be adjusted in the same school and be offered free education. The instructions have been issued to private schools running on DDA or government allotted schools.
“All districts are directed to ensure that children who have become orphans or lost a parent after March 2020 either due to Covid-19 or otherwise, such orphans need due attention to enable them to continue their education in the school,” the Directorate of Education (DoE) said in the official order, as reported by PTI.
“Such students may be adjusted in the same school, if running on DDA or government allotted land under freeship, with the approval of authorities, without any draw of lot. Or, such students may be treated as a student studying under the Economically Weaker Section Disadvantaged Group category and reimbursement may be paid by the Directorate of Education and after class 8 they may be given admission in any government school,” it added.
According to the Women and Child Development Department, there are nearly 5,500 children who have lost either of their parents ever since the virus hit the national capital.
