Schools in Taplejung prepare to run classes by adopting health and safety measures

Online classes have failed to take off in villages due to the lack of internet coverage and radio and TV-based teaching are not working, educators say.

Most of the schools in Taplejung have decided to resume classes since online classes have failed to take off in the rural areas of the district given the absence of internet coverage. Educators say that even though the authorities had initiated radio and TV programmes to reach out to the students in rural areas, running classes through the medium have proved to be ineffective.
