Online classes to continue

The online classes for schoolchildren are likely to continue even after the summer vacation since parents are unwilling to risk sending their children to school, multiple school authorities have told The Telegraph.

In the same breath, several school principals and teachers said that online classes are less engaging and less productive, particularly for the weaker students and those very young who need individual attention.

Vijay Singh Rana, a father and a private tutor himself, agreed that online classes were less effective. But he stressed that he would not send his 11-year-old daughter to her private school in Delhi till Covid-19 had been eliminated from the country.
