GRAP-4 Implementation: Delhi-NCR Schools Transition to Hybrid Learning

In response to escalating air pollution levels, authorities in Delhi-NCR have activated Stage 4 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP-4). Consequently, schools have shifted to a hybrid mode of instruction, with exceptions for grades 10 and 12.

Air Quality Concerns Prompt Educational Adjustments

The Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi has deteriorated to ‘severe’ levels, necessitating immediate action to protect public health. As part of GRAP-4 measures, educational institutions are required to modify their teaching methods to reduce students’ exposure to hazardous air conditions.

Hybrid Learning Model Details

  • Grades 10 and 12: Due to upcoming board examinations, students in these grades will continue attending in-person classes with enhanced safety protocols.
  • Other Grades: Students from nursery to grade 9 and grade 11 will participate in online classes, minimizing outdoor exposure during peak pollution periods.

Institutional Responses and Parental Concerns

While many schools have promptly adopted the hybrid model, some institutions have chosen to maintain offline classes for all grades, citing parental requests and the need for exam preparation. This decision has led to confusion among students and parents regarding the uniformity of safety measures across the region.

Health Advisories and Future Outlook

Health experts advise limiting outdoor activities and using protective masks to mitigate the adverse effects of air pollution. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, with the possibility of extending or modifying current measures based on air quality trends.
