Schools go hybrid as Delhi’s air quality worsens
Schools in Delhi have started adopting a hybrid mode of education as the city’s air quality continues to deteriorate. The decision comes as a response to the worsening air pollution levels, which have reached hazardous levels in recent weeks.
Both public and private schools have been affected, with authorities concerned about the health risks posed to students and staff. The hybrid model involves a combination of in-person and online classes to reduce the time spent outdoors in polluted air.
The Delhi government has issued guidelines for schools to ensure the safety of students and staff. Some schools have opted to conduct all classes online for the time being, while others are implementing rotational systems to limit the number of students present on campus at any given time.
Parents have expressed mixed reactions to the new measures, with some welcoming the move to protect their children from the harmful effects of air pollution, while others are concerned about the impact on students’ academic progress and social development.
As the air quality index in Delhi remains at severe levels, schools are under pressure to find a balance between providing a quality education and ensuring the well-being of their students and staff. The situation highlights the urgent need for long-term solutions to address the root causes of air pollution in the region.
