General Education Minister V. Sivankutty on Wednesday directed Director of General Education Shanavas S. to arrange online classes so that students in schools within containment zones declared in connection with the Nipah outbreak in Kozhikode district could attend lessons sitting at home.
Accordingly, the Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) has been entrusted with making the arrangements for online classes using its G-Suite platform.
KITE had rolled out the G-Suite for Education platform in 2021 to facilitate online classes during the pandemic. Now, in the wake of the Nipah outbreak, G-Suite has been made available on the public domain kiteschool.in. There is no need to provide any sensitive data pertaining to students such as UID, mobile number, or email for G-Suite, over which KITE will have complete master control.
