Delhi Government will review the decision to reopen schools, colleges and educational institutions. The decision will be taken in a meeting on November 24.
Considering the air quality level in the state, the government will decide to reopen schools, colleges and educational institutions, said the Environment minister Gopal Rai.
Earlier, the education department had to shut down all schools and colleges due to the rising air quality index.
“The environment department has directed to close all the schools with immediate effect till further orders of the Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and adjoining areas. Therefore, all government and private schools will remain closed till further orders,” Additional Director of Education Rita Sharma said. “However, online teaching learning activities and the examinations for board classes would be conducted as per guidelines issued earlier,” the official said.
On November 13, the schools were shut down in Delhi following which the Haryana government also announced the closure of schools in four cities– Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat and Jhijar.
