HONG KONG—Hong Kong schools reopened on Nov. 20 after a six-day shutdown but students and commuters faced transit disruptions as the last protesters remained holed up in a university campus.

City officials tried to restore a sense of normalcy as primary and secondary classes resumed. Workers began cleaning up debris blocking a major road tunnel, but it was unclear how soon it could be reopened.
