Schools in Haryana had reopened in November following the Unlock guidelines released by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Days after the reopening of schools in Haryana, a spike of Covid-19 cases in the Rewari district compelled the state government to shut the schools again.

In view of the board exams, schools for the students of Class 9 to 12 have already opened in the state. For classes 1-5 schools are still closed and awaiting orders from the state government.
