Mumbai: As all eyes are on Classes IX-XII in schools physically resuming on November 23, education minister Varsha Gaikwad said that picking from the Covid-19 experience, eLearning will continue not just in the near future, but to ensure education remains uninterrupted.

Gaikwad told TOI the education department will prepare digital content and host live sessions even after schools are back to normal. “Over the past few months, we have explored the scope of remote learning and while it has not reached all students, a lot of them are able to at least access asynchronous content. But since that can’t be monitored now, teachers will have to work hard to bring all students to a common learning level once schools reopen. However, even post the pandemic, we will work to strengthen the online infrastructure and learning resources. So even if remote learning isn’t perfect, it will be available to a child even if he or she cannot attend physical school due to various reasons,” she said.
