With the Kozhikode district administration confirming that classes in all educational institutions will be made available online until September 23, schools are struggling to put things together on a war footing.
Though online classes had been the new normal across the State just a year ago, most schools have moved on to normal classes alone and hence have to put up a system from scratch.
“Availability of mobile phones will be a problem for students in our school, who are from financially backward families. Though the community had made an effort to make phones available to the students during the times of COVID, most of them have either been damaged or put to alternative use,” said Ashok Kumar T., headmaster, Government UP School, Puthiyangadi.
