As schools reopened after the Christmas vacation on Monday, many reverted to the online mode because of the massive rise in Covid-19 cases. While many administrations adopted the precautionary move, EuroSchool in Airoli allegedly made offline classes mandatory for Std IX and Std X. Parents, who had decided against sending their children back to campus, were shocked to learn the school had blocked their online access. The management, however, denied cutting off online access to students.

Circular issued on Jan 1

“Stds IX and X students will attend classes on the school campus from Monday to Friday, starting from January 3. There will be no online classes conducted for these Grades from January onwards,” read the circular dated January 1, sent by the school to all parents. It listed other SOPs to be followed on the campus. While some parents sent their wards to school, others remained firm on their stand against resumption of offline classes in view of the rising Covid-19 cases. They asked their children to login for online sessions, as before the vacation, EuroSchool, like every other institution, was offering the hybrid mode of learning - a mixture of online and offline classes.
