No vaccine for loss of education: Sisodia seeks feedback on semi-online learning in Delhi

Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday sought feedback from parents and teachers of two Delhi government schools for the recently implemented “semi-online” mode of education. While interacting with them, Sisodia said that other losses caused by the lockdown can be compensated, but the loss of education is irreparable. In a situation such as this, classes with the support of technology are the need of the hour, he added. Soon there will be a vaccine to cure Coronavirus, but there cannot be a vaccine for loss of education, Sisodia told the parents and teachers. The Deputy CM also asked for their feedback on the ongoing virtual teaching-learning activities and sought suggestions to improve the online mode of education. He suggested that Parent-Teacher Meetings be held online as well.
