Odisha students go to school to attend YouTube classes due to low internet speed

The schools in Odisha are closed due to Covid pandemic but students of Upper Primary school in Ankadeli area of Lamtaput block of Koraput district have no option but to go to the school to attend the classes streamed on YouTube due to lack of internet speed at home.

“I had to come to school as my mobile is not able to stream the YouTube classes. We also need a big data pack. We have broadband [connection] at school which is good enough to watch YouTube classes being streamed live,” said Payal Majhi, a student of class 9. She is among the many students who were carrying their mobile phones to school to be able to join the online classes since Monday.
