Given fresh guidelines issued by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), the Education Department has decided that all schools of the state shall reopen from November 27 for classes 1-12.

Relaxing conditions related to the closure of physical classes after Supreme Court directions, the CAQM, in its order dated November 25, had conveyed that the governments in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Delhi “shall ensure that all classes up to 12th Standard in schools and those in colleges/educational institutions are conducted in a ‘hybrid’ mode, i.e., both in ‘physical’ and also in an ‘online’ mode, wherever online mode is feasible, in the territorial jurisdiction of the NCT of Delhi and the districts of Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddh Nagar in the NCR”.

The CAQM had reasoned that all primary schools in Delhi and NCR did not have access to conducting classes purely in an online mode and the adverse air quality scenario would continue “for a long duration during winter months typically from November till January”. It added, “Students of classes 10th and 12th and the associated school authorities are most impacted by the GRAP (Graded Response Action Plan) Stage-IV restrictions, considering the Board examinations facing them and the various competitive exams which follow. These students are required to attend classes in a physical mode considering the practical classes as also the practical examinations.”
