With primary schools across Delhi switching to online mode in the wake of rising air pollution, authorities are taking measures to safeguard the students of class six and above who would be attending their classes offline.
Sudha Acharya, the Principal of ITL Public School in Dwarka, said, “We’ve implemented guidelines for students attending school. Outdoor activities are restricted. We are encouraging indoor activities such as reading, painting, crafting and games like chess and carrom.”
Acharya issued an advisory in the school highlighting efforts to promote eco-friendly habits, such as carpooling, staying hydrated, and maintaining a diet rich in antioxidants.
Amid worsening air quality in the national capital, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Thursday announced that primary schools in the national capital will switch to online classes.
“Due to rising pollution levels, all primary schools in Delhi will be shifting to online classes, until further directions,” the chief minister said in a post on X.
