Noida and Ghaziabad Schools Shift to Hybrid Classes for Up to Class 5 Amid Pollution
In response to worsening air pollution and the implementation of Stage 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across Delhi-NCR, schools in Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad have been directed to conduct classes for students up to Class 5 in hybrid mode. This allows students to attend either in-person or online where feasible. The directive, issued by district education authorities following Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) orders, also includes suspension of construction activities in Ghaziabad and increased civic measures to reduce pollution. Compliance is mandatory, with potential action for violations.
