Cold Wave Forces School Closures in Ghaziabad: District Education Officer Issues Orders

Ghaziabad: With the intensifying cold wave gripping Ghaziabad, authorities have taken the proactive step of temporarily closing schools to ensure the safety and well-being of students. The decision comes in light of the plummeting temperatures, compelling officials to declare a two-day closure of all schools in the district.

The District Education Officer issued an official order, announcing the closure of schools from nursery to 12th grade on January 15 and 16. The move aims to safeguard students, teachers, and staff from the adverse weather conditions prevailing in the region.

As the mercury continues to dip, the decision is welcomed by parents and educators alike. The closure ensures that students are not exposed to the harsh weather conditions during their commute to and from school. Additionally, it allows school authorities to take necessary precautions to maintain a safe and comfortable learning environment.

While the closure is a precautionary measure, the District Education Officer emphasized the importance of ensuring the continuity of education. Teachers have been advised to utilize online platforms and other remote learning methods to minimize disruptions in the academic calendar.

Parents are encouraged to stay informed about any further updates and directives from school authorities during this period. The decision to reopen schools post the two-day closure will depend on the prevailing weather conditions, and parents are urged to stay connected with school communications for the latest information.

As the cold wave persists, the closure of schools reflects the commitment of education authorities to prioritize the safety and well-being of students. The temporary hiatus provides an opportunity for everyone to stay warm and safe while ensuring that education remains a continuous and resilient process in the face of challenging weather conditions.
