Online education sees debacle due to unreliable power supply

Kathmandu, Oct 7 . Children pursuing education through virtual mode during the time of coronavirus pandemic are bearing the brunt of frequent disruption of power supply. Owing to disruption of power supply for four days in a week in the north-east part of the federal capital, Kathmandu, the children are denied their right to education.

Power disruption is becoming a regular phenomenon in the Gokarna no-light zone of Gokarneswor and Budhanilakantha municipalities. Sachina Thapa, a fifth grader of Chandikashwori English Secondary School at Gokarneswor-2 complained that her study has been adversely affected due to obstruction to the power supply.
