Can online learning replace the school classroom?
The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted the academic year, cancelled classes and examinations across the country. While Maharashtra has banned online classes from pre-primary to Class II, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh have extended the ban till Class V. In a discussion moderated by Puja Pednekar, Kiran Bhatty and Reeta Sonawat look at the pros and cons of online learning. Reeta Sonawat: No, I do not think that online classes have increased screen time. Also, many children, especially those attending government schools, are being deprived of education during the pandemic as they do not have access to online facilities. Reeta Sonawat: If we stop online education, even the children who have access to technology will lose out.
