Three Mumbai foreign schools welcome students to physical classrooms – Education News
While most schools in Mumbai have not reopened since the March 2020 lockdown, the Mumbai foreign-run ones have begun to welcome students back into the physical classrooms.
The American School of Bombay at BKC on Monday welcomed grade 4 and 5 students to the campus. It was the first in the city to get permission for in-person learning in January.
Deutsche Schule Bombay, a German school with campuses at Breach Candy and Lower Parel, and Lycée Francais International de Mumbai, a French school in Lower Parel—have also got approvals from the BMC for offline classes.
Educationists have been demanding the reopening of all schools in a phased manner, citing the limitations of online teaching.
The 45-odd Cambridge International board schools, which have maximum classroom strength of 20, have been vocal on the issue. The state, however, is reluctant due to fears of a third wave.
