Elections and Pollution Force Localized School Changes for Nov. 14

Local schedules reflect election use of campuses or GRAP-III curbs, prompting families to follow school alerts.

Overview

  • Bihar districts using campuses for polling and vote counting have shut selected schools for the day, with classes to resume after election duties end.
  • Hyderabad’s Jubilee Hills area has a paid holiday for institutions designated as polling or counting centres under an order by District Collector Harichandana Dasari.
  • Delhi schools up to Class 5 are running in hybrid mode under GRAP‑III, with parents choosing online or in-person classes and some junior sections off for Children’s Day.
  • Noida schools remain open but have halted outdoor activities such as assemblies and sports due to severe air quality, with options for hybrid learning in some cases.
  • Health and education authorities urge families to limit children’s outdoor exposure, track AQI updates, and rely on official messages, noting Children’s Day is not a universal holiday and most other states operate normally.
