Due to Coronavirus epidemic, schools are closed due since March. Many new ideas are coming up from teachers to engage students during the lockdown. To impart lessons to students who do not have access to smartphones, government school teachers in Dumka’s Dumarthar village have found a new way to teach.
They created blackboards on the walls of students’ houses to teach them while maintaining social distancing in the view of coronavirus.
Teachers have started ‘shiksha aapke dwaar’ (education at your doorstep) to provide education to children while maintaining social distancing. More than 100 blackboards have been created on walls to teach students at their houses.
