Amid rising air pollution, Delhi schools face operational challenges as the Directorate of Education’s directive to implement hybrid learning has sparked confusion. While some schools lack the infrastructure for simultaneous online and offline teaching, teachers and principals are unsure how to accommodate both modes effectively. The Supreme Court had urged a switch to hybrid classes due to concerns over missed mid-day meals and lack of online access for many students. However, the ambiguity surrounding the implementation has left educators like government schoolteacher Virendra Singh Yadav seeking clarity on whether all teachers are expected to be present at school given ongoing work-from-home policies. In contrast, some private schools, equipped for online teaching, find the hybrid model cumbersome. The decision, leaving the choice to parents, adds to the complexity, as many favor physical classes. The hybrid model, previously attempted during the pandemic, is considered an impractical solution by some, as logistical issues, such as managing online and offline students, remain unresolved.
