Online classes a luxury for budget school students : TRSMA
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The shutdown of educational institutions barely a month after its reopening in the state has led to a fresh wave of panic among students and parents. Most of the students do not possess a device to attend the classes and are thus being denied the Right to Education,” said private schools welfare body, the Telangana recognised schools' management association. At least one of them regularly misses out on these online classes," said Karuna Jyothi, a parent in Hyderabad, herself a teacher at a budget school. A parent of Wisdom school in Ameerpet said most parents have difficulty buying a smartphone to help their kids attend to classes, and children are facing problems in understanding the curriculum properly. Farhana Khan, director of a budget private school, the Milat Model School, said the attendance at her school for online classes has dropped by half since the shutdown.
