The parents in Delhi took to Twitter demanding to reopen schools, as educational institutions are once again shut down after the Supreme Court pulled the AAP government for allowing physical classes amid the worsening pollution level in the state. The parents made a Twitter campaign with #backtoschool, where concerns were raised as the decision of closure of schools will hamper the learning of students. “To highlight the fact that schools reopened after 21 months and have again been closed due to pollution. This does not make sense especially for private schools which have air purifiers and the kids are wearing N 95 masks while at school,” a parent said.
Delhi schools are closed from December 3 after being opened for four days due to the increased air pollution. The Haryana government also ordered closure of all schools in Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat, and Jhajjar districts adjoining Delhi due to air pollution

The biggest emergency we’re facing is a generation that hasn’t been to school for 2 years and now you close it again due to #pollution. Kids are in N95 masks and all classrooms have air purifiers. #BacktoSchool2021 #backtoschool
Schools shut due to pollution! This while some schools have air purifiers in classrooms and kids wear N95 – how is it different from being at home? #BacktoSchool
