New school academic year will be online this time too in Kerala
Kerala Education Minister V.Sivankutty said that with the Covid pandemic continuing its surge, the new academic school year will start in the online mode from June 1, this time as well.
Sivankutty said that at the moment there is no way one can think of returning to classrooms and hence like the previous academic year, this time also it would be in the digital mode.
The classes will be aired through KITE-Victers (an edutainment channel). Certain changes have been made to make the classes more interesting and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate it on June 1. The state level inauguration would be held at the Hill Girls School here.
Sivankutty also added that the annual welcome function for the kids who enter the field of education for the first time will also be able to be held virtually.
