Minister of Education Priya Manickchand has confirmed that training for teachers to take advantage of online teaching portals will commence soon.
Manickchand on Thursday told this newspaper that as the new school year begins, she intends to use any means that are available to ensure that students across the nation are able to be taught while the schools remain closed physically.
During the telephone interview, the Minister of Education said that the ministry will train teachers on how to properly use all online portals for teaching while meeting the needs of students who don’t have internet access via the use of workbooks and educational programmes. She also said that parents will be continuously informed of steps taken towards the readiness of schools for reopening.
