NE NEWS: Amidst
the lockdown, two schools in Meghalaya have started online classes to keep the
students preoccupied and also to complete the syllabus in time.
One of
the schools is Pine Mount which has begun preparation for the online classes.
It involves a simple online registration process through which the student’s
name, class and contact details are collected.
Once the registration is done, the students or their parents will
be provided a login password. After login, each student will be given
assignments by their respective class teacher.
The assignments will have to be completed by the students at their
homes and submitted to the teachers online for
assessment. The registration process is on but the actual online
classes are yet to begin.
Apart from Pine Mount School, Shillong Public School has also
initiated e-classes with a similar registration process. Both Shillong Public
School and Pine Mount are run by the State Government.
The decision to start online classes was taken since the country
is bracing for disruption of the academic session this year due to the corona
virus outbreak and the subsequent lockdown, experts said.
The State capital of Meghalaya is an educational hub and there are
hundreds of schools run by various organizations and an equal number of hostels
and guest houses for students from outside the State.
The State Government has set up two shelter homes here for
students from outside the State who have been unable to return home. These
shelter homes will provide accommodation and food to the stranded students.
