Data on students lacking access to digital classes to be collected

Arrangements to be made at school, sub-district and district levels

The General Education Department has issued an order for collection of data at the school level on students lacking facilities for accessing digital/online classes. The order directs arrangements at the school, sub-district/education district, and district levels to address the shortage of digital facilities among students this year. At the school level, data on students who do not have laptops, tablets, Internet connectivity, TV, cable/DTH connections; those without study material such as textbooks, notebooks, and stationery; and those without electricity connections at their homes should be collected and combined with data collected by Samagra Shiksha, Kerala, to prepare a school-level list.
