The covid 19 induced lockdown has not only forced private educational institutions to conduct online learning classes through video conferencing software including WebEx, Zoom etc. to keep up the pace with syllabus but the government schools have also switched to e learning using popular social media platforms, radio as well as television.
Jaswinder Kaur, district mentor, Amritsar, Parho Punjab Paraho Punjab, Punjab School Education Board, told TOI on Sunday that teachers deliver lectures to the students through Door Darshan Punjabi and Swayam Prabha DTH Channel number 20. Lectures were also being given through All India Radio , added she.
