Delhi Schools Up to Class 5 Shift to Hybrid Mode Amid Severe Air Pollution
Delhi schools up to Class 5 have been directed to operate in hybrid mode amid worsening air quality, with students attending both in-person and online classes. This measure, mandated by the Delhi Directorate of Education and Environment Ministry, applies to government and private schools across Delhi and adjacent NCR cities. The decision follows the invocation of Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan due to severe pollution levels. The Supreme Court expressed reservations about fully shutting schools, citing concerns over educational quality and digital access disparities.
