Virtual
classes for the students have begun by the Kerala government. The classes are
being conducted through the Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education
(KITE)-Victers channel under the name 'First Bell'.
Students can
access the time-table from the official website -- https://victers.kite.kerala.gov.in/.
An official
in a statement said “For the first week at least 1.2 lakh laptops, over 7,000
projectors and nearly 4,545 televisions have been readied for the students”.
"We
have entrusted the class teachers and school headmasters or principals to make
sure that students have access to a television or a smartphone or a computer,
and internet for the classes. If not, they should find an alternative for the
students to attend the online classes either in real time or later," Director
of Public Instruction (DPI) K Jeevan Babu has said.
Akshaya
centers are being used as alternatives for the students to attend the classes.
Other suggestions are to use television or internet facilities of neighbours,
friends living nearby and libraries.
The classes
can be downloaded from the internet. This way, students who have missed the
class can watch them later.
