Following the SC directions, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), late on Monday, directed Delhi and state governments of the NCR to consider conducting classes in hybrid mode.
The CAQM allowed institutions to conduct classes both in “physical” and also “online” modes, wherever feasible, in Delhi, Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddh Naga. “The option to exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians,” it said.
All the schools in Delhi and NCR do not have infrastructure to conduct classes purely in an online mode .
Students of classes X and XII and the associated school authorities are most impacted by the GRAP Stage - IV restrictions, considering the Board examinations facing them and the various competitive exams which follow. These students are required to attend classes in a physical mode considering the practica-l classes as also the practical examinations. Besides, the students are also required to attend extra classes / tutorials for the Board examinations.
