DIVYA DELHI : Amid rising air pollution levels in the national capital, authorities have directed schools to adopt a hybrid mode of learning for students up to Class 5. The decision aims to protect young children from the harmful effects of deteriorating air quality. Under the arrangement, students will have the option to attend classes online or offline, depending on the school’s instructions and prevailing conditions. The move comes as Delhi continues to battle increasing pollution and smog, raising concerns over respiratory problems and other health risks, particularly among children. School administrations have been advised to ensure smooth online learning facilities so that students’ education is not disrupted. Parents have also been urged to take necessary precautions and limit children’s outdoor exposure during periods of poor air quality. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
