Considering the disruptions caused by adverse weather and the Covid pandemic to school schedules in recent years, the Delhi government has introduced the Delhi Model Virtual School (DMVS).
The DMVS aims to transform the teaching methods in all government schools into a hybrid mode, where teaching and learning will be available both offline and online. Delhi Education Minister Atishi on Saturday said that the school represents a unique experiment in ensuring world-class learning reaches even those who cannot physically attend school.
She emphasised that this initiative would guarantee that even if schools have to be closed due to weather uncertainties, children's education remains unaffected.
"The Delhi Model Virtual School, under the Arvind Kejriwal government, realises our vision of providing quality education to every child, extending beyond the last mile. Through cutting-edge studios and trained teachers, our virtual school conducts live classes and shares digital resources with its students," the education minister posted on her official 'X' account.
