Digital divide in mind, Delhi HC tells pvt schools, KVs to bridge gap

The Delhi high court on Friday directed private unaided schools and Kendriya Vidyalayas in the city to provide students from the so-called economically weaker section (EWS) and disadvantaged groups (DG) with electronic devices and Internet connections to attend online classes — and be reimbursed by the Delhi and Union governments for doing so.

Though the cases was pertaining to schools in Delhi, one of the lawyers said that since the judgement was based on certain sections of the national Right To Education law, it will be applicable to schools across India. HT could not immediately confirm this.
