Karnataka govt allows resumption of online classes

Giving a reprieve to private schools that were continuing online classes despite the ban order issued by the government, the Education Department on Saturday issued a fresh order allowing schools to continue with online classes for children of all classes.

The order, coming in the wake of the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, allows private schools to continue online classes. The latest order will be valid until the state expert committee submits its report on online education.

As per the order, schools across Karnataka affiliated to the state, CBSE, ICSE boards can hold online classes and shall follow the instructions given by the government.
