Students returning to school struggling with online to offline transition

Two years ago, millions of students in India had to cope up with a new way of learning when schools were shut due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the virtual form of education took over.

As schools opened this year and offline education started, it has largely been welcomed by parents, teachers and students but for some the transition has been tough.

Mukti Srivastava, Principal of Father Agnel School said, “Eye contact is required for teaching children. So teachers are very happy now as they are getting response from children. However, it was tough for children in nursery. They used to keep crying and bothering teachers. So we faced a lot of problems, but we have started calling students in full strength from April.”
