Hybrid classes: Relief or challenge for schools & colleges?
NEW DELHI: The Commission for Air Quality Management announced a partial relaxation of restrictions under GRAP Stages III and IV on Monday evening, permitting schools and colleges in Delhi-NCR to operate in a hybrid mode. Many questioned whether schools and teachers are adequately equipped to conduct hybrid classes. While several parents expressed relief over the flexibility, particularly for working families, concerns persisted regarding the readiness of schools and the impact on children lacking access to online education. The CAQM’s order stated, “State governments in the NCR shall ensure that all classes up to 12th Standard are conducted in a ‘hybrid’ mode, i.e., both in ‘physical’ and also in ‘online’ modes, wherever online mode is feasible within the NCT of Delhi and the districts of Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and Gautam Buddh Nagar in the NCR.” However, complaints surfaced online, alleging that some schools are pressuring students to attend physical classes without consulting parents.
