Delhi Primary Schools Shut Till Nov 10, Online Classes Advised For Seniors

New Delhi:

In view of the increasing air pollution levels in the national capital, the Delhi government has extended the closure of all schools up to class 5 till November 10. Schools up to classes 6-12 are not required to close, but they have the option to run online classes if they wish.

Initially, the Delhi government had announced that schools up to class 5 would remain closed till November 5, however, the deteriorating air quality in the city has warranted an extension.

"As pollution levels continue to remain high, primary schools in Delhi will stay closed till 10th November. For Grade 6-12, schools are being given the option of shifting to online classes," Delhi Education Minister Atishi said in a statement.
