The entire education system, which was badly hit during the Covid-19 pandemic situation across the country, is gradually coming to terms with the present day challenges.
Several State governments have now decided to reopen schools and the authorities are prepared to welcome the students back into classes. However, many parents are still reluctant to send their children to schools and are opting for online education till the Covid situation improves further.
Under the present circumstances, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to go for a training programme on ‘Hybrid Learning’ for teachers of its affiliated schools. Hybrid learning is where students learn through a combination of in-person and online activities.
