Schools to Operate in Hybrid Mode
While Schools for students of class 1 to 9 have been ordered to reopen from tomorrow, education will continue in hybrid mode for now. This means that along with physical lectures being held on campus, School administrators have also been instructed to ensure online classes also continue for now. This is being done as many students and parents are not comfortable sending their children or wards to school right away. To provide an alternate learning platform to such students, schools have been instructed to operate in hybrid mode.
