KOLKATA: The return of Covid on campuses has forced schools to try out various permutations and combinations to ensure classes are not disrupted. In one school, there has been a complete reversal of what happened during past waves: now, a Covid-infected teacher is taking classes from home, with students in the classroom!
At Shri Shikshayatan, large screens have been installed in classrooms, where live images of teachers, taking classes from home, are being projected for students to follow. About four teachers are down with either Covid or have high fever or some other health issues; they are conducting classes from home. “We are asking teachers to leverage technology to teach if they are not feeling well,” said Bratati Bhattacharya, the secretary-general.
