Abstract

This paper focused on the management of hybrid learning in resource-scarce communities for private and public schools, drawing insights from Nigeria. The study employed a systematic approach, consisting of an extensive literature search, article eligibility assessment and synthesis of findings. The authors offered a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and benefits associated with hybrid learning. It highlighted the importance of hybrid learning in addressing educational disparities and examined challenges faced in its implementation. Enhanced student engagement, improved learning outcomes and increased access to educational resources were identified potential benefits of hybrid learning. Effective strategies for managing the adoption process include comprehensive planning and preparation, stakeholder engagement, public-private partnerships and targeted government policies that promote hybrid learning in resource-limited communities. In conclusion, the review provided a thorough analysis of challenges and potentials of implementing hybrid learning in resource-scarce communities in Nigeria. Effective training on technology use in the classroom and continuous support for teachers is crucial to overcoming the challenges. Based on the review, it is recommended, amongst others, that there should be collaborative efforts between private and public schools, government agencies non-profits and technology companies to consolidate resources and expertise, ensuring the long-term sustainability of hybrid learning initiatives. There is a need for teacher training and support for the success of the program.
