We will be conducting classes as usual on Thursday as well,” said Chhavi Singh, principal at Government Girls Inter College in Badalpur, Gautam Budh Nagar.Īditi Basu Roy, principal of Grads International School, Greater Noida, and president of the All India Principals’ Association (Gautam Budh Nagar) said closure of schools at this time will adversely affect students’ studies. “I read news reports about the directives issued by the CAQM but we have not received any formal communication from the authorities regarding closure of schools. Schools in Gautam Budh Nagar remained open on Wednesday and principals say they did not receive any directions regarding closure of schools. In absence of directions by the UP government, schools remained opened in Ghaziabad on Wednesday and is likely to remain open on Thursday as well. This is surely going to affect students and their studies in the long run,” said Jyoti Gupta, director of Delhi Public School, Sahibabad. Now, it is the pollution levels which have led the CAQM to order for the closure of schools. Hence, the students have been away from physical classes for a long time. Initially, the closure of schools was due to the pandemic and it has affected studies since last year. “We have not received any official communication about closure of schools from the district administration yet. On Tuesday, the CAQM directed that all private and government schools, colleges and educational institutions in NCR shall remained closed till further orders.Įducationists said that the CAQM decision on the closure of schools in the wake of high pollution levels is unprecedented. As of now, there is no order and schools and colleges will open on Thursday,”said Kumar. “We are awaiting orders and will comply with the directions once received. Vipin Kumar, additional district magistrate of Ghaziabad, also said there were no directions from the state government. A decision to close schools and colleges will be taken once we receive official communication from the state government,” said Suhas on late Wednesday night. Since this order was withdrawn, our order automatically stands cancelled. “The order in the evening was issued in accordance with the directions given by the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board.
