The education ministry has compiled its first-ever guidelines for online classes at universities, which quickly proliferated nationwide at the height of the coronavirus pandemic but are expected to continue even after it subsides because of their convenience.
The downside to remote learning has been that it makes it difficult for students and faculty members to interact with each other, and the Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry's guidelines present measures to deal with such challenges while proposing new ways to utilize online classes.
The ministry notified national, public and private universities of the guidelines on Tuesday.
