The Delhi government on Wednesday declared an early winter break in schools from November 9 to 18 due to extreme air contamination in the national capital.
“Considering air pollution, the winter break for all schools, which is normally from December, has been rescheduled, presently to be from November 9-18,” the Delhi education division said.
All schools in Delhi have been coordinated to suspend actual classes, with the exception of classes 10 and 12, until November 10 considering rising contamination levels, Environment Minister Gopal Rai declared on Monday.
To prevent any unfavorable effect on the students’ studies because of the closure of schools, these holidays are being changed with the winter break.
