In other words, the schools will be required to develop and implement a model of hybrid schooling with blended curriculum for their students at various grade levels.
This implies that the structure of school with teachers, peers, infrastructure and facilities remain in place, however, each classroom / teacher's room fitted with on-line lesson delivery systems.
Elsewhere, two types of hybrid instruction is being used.
Reduced week days model
School-days are fixed ranging from 2-4 days
Remaining days children study at home with on-line support by the school and parental supervision.
Two-group model for complete week
Students are divided into two groups, a smaller group comes to the institution
The smaller group attends class in-person which is taught by the classroom instructor and proceedings are put on-line
Rest of the students join the class virtually from home
Teacher preparation and skill training
Teachers require preparation and skills
Customize and outline content and instructional objectives on daily basis: Teachers required to prepare self-prepared handbook for day-wise learning episodes
Communicative skills in presence of camera

In nutshell
Thus Hybrid learning is a way of combining traditional classroom experiences, session's learning objectives along with simultaneous digital course delivery in the classroom and on-line
