The Delhi Government instructed all the heads of school to appoint willing guest teachers and contract teachers to facilitate online teaching and learning activities.

An official notice released on July 13, 2020 reads, "All such engaged teachers shall be treated as on duty and will be paid as per the norm."

Besides this, the heads of school have been asked to "follow-up" on the progress of every student and make necessary arrangements to support their learning remotely.

Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia released an official notice on July 7, 2020  which addressed the issue of non-appointment of guest teachers in online teaching.

Manish Sisodia emphasised the contribution of guest teachers and wrote, "Our plan will not be effective unless all the teachers, including guest teachers who have had a direct role in taking classes with the children in pre-lockdown phase, are involved once again."

So the happy news for all the guest teachers who were engaged in teaching before the summer vacation in May 2020 is that they will be invited to rejoin the service soon.
