Jaipur, Nov 20 : In response to the severe pollution levels in the Delhi-NCR region, the Khairthal-Tijara district administration in Rajasthan has decided to shift all schools to online classes for students in grades 1 to 5. The move will be in effect for four days, starting Wednesday, November 20.
The decision was made by District Collector Kishore Kumar on Tuesday, following the Supreme Court’s directive to states within the Delhi-NCR region to assess whether to hold physical classes for students up to grade 12 amidst the ongoing air quality crisis.
Khairthal-Tijara, which became a separate district from Alwar in August 2023, is part of the National Capital Region (NCR).
According to the order, all government and private schools in the district will suspend physical classes for students in classes 1 to 5 from November 20 to November 23, or until further notice. Teachers will conduct online classes during this period.
The order applies only to students, with teachers required to report to school to facilitate the online sessions.
