Response to Covid

Online education

A tiny virus has changed our lives - perhaps in enduring ways. To be on safe side, as per the state orders, the school was closed in March 2020. Online education was started around 10 April otherwise children may forget to read and write!
Big Challenges were: Not every child had access to a smart phone. Data connectivity is patchy in the mountains. Lastly, being a rural mountain region, most parents had drafted heir children into various chores: grazing the cattle, farm work etc. A whatsapp group was made of those children whose parents had a smartphone. Others were contacted on voice phone twice a day: in the morning, the teacher gave them the task and in the evening they inquired into compliance.
