The classes for the virtual school - affiliated with the Delhi Board of School Education - will be for students of Class 9 to Class 12, between 13 and 18 years of age. Students from across India would be able to take admission by applying on the website - www.dmvs.ac.in.


The chief minister said the first virtual school in the country will prove to be a milestone in the education sector. "There are many children who cannot go to school since there are issues like the school being far away or other obstacles. Many parents do not get their daughters educated since they don"t want to send them out.


"We are starting this virtual school to ensure they get educated. This school is inspired by virtual classes that had been necessitated due to the Covid-19 pandemic," he said.
The classes will be online and recorded lectures will also be uploaded online, Kejriwal added.
