Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Manish Sisodia held a meeting with principals of over 300 private schools through video-conferencing and talked about various strategies that should be implemented during online classes.
"During this time of crisis when the whole country is fighting against coronavirus, it is important to make sure that the students do not suffer. Teachers need to take utmost care while dealing with this issue. So, let the students attend the online classes even if their parents are unable to pay their fees," Sisodia said.
During the meeting, the principals of different private schools also shared their strategies of supporting studies using online devices.
"It is not only about helping students to cope up with the current situation, but also to support parents to engage with their children. Daily exercises and activities are being sent through SMS or IVR to parents for students of classes Nursery to 8," said Shailendra Sharma, the advisor to the education director.
For this happiness classes will be conducted every day online at 4 pm, the Chief Minister added.
"These activities will guide parents to get involved with their kids and support learning like a teacher. To build on this, and to bring the family closer in this tumultuous situation where all of us are confined to our homes, the government has launched Happiness Classes to be conducted by our trained teachers which will be streamed online every day at 4 pm," Sisodia added.
"The idea behind all this effort is to help every home become a school, and every parent taking on the role of a teacher," Sisodia said.
