Fears over rising Covid-19 cases has led to a dip in confidence among parents in sending their wards back to school, with some even questioning the feasibility of holding the upcoming board examinations offline, results from a survey conducted in Delhi showed.

The survey by community engagement platform Local Circles has found that only 25 per cent of parents are willing to send their children to school in April, and that 73 per cent believe that schools should be only reopened if there are less than 100 active cases in a district. The percentage of parents hoping for schools to resume offline classes was 73 per cent in January.

The survey had around 18,000 respondents from 272 districts, of which 44 per cent were from metros and tier-1 districts, 28 per cent from tier-2 districts, and 28 per cent from Tier-3 and 4 or rural districts.
