Schools in Gurugram are increasingly relying on the digital model of education to resume teaching in the wake of the lock down triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The lock down has not only disrupted classroom teaching but also lead to the postponement of board exams. In an endeavour to sustain the momentum of education amidst uncertainty, the faculty has started working from home to develop E-learning modules and are also mulling ways to enable student-teacher interactions through ‘virtual classes’ to complete the syllabus during the lock down.

Teachers are using podcasts, presentations for concept initiation and live teaching for Concept elucidation. The medium which we are using to project this to students is through Microsoft Teams and ZOOM for the class meetings and the School Management system. The assignments are to be submitted through MS TEAMS. The class includes yoga and performing and fine ARTS, puppet storytelling sessions too.

Blue Bells Group of Schools has also taken various measures to ensure that education does not suffer due to the disruption caused by COVID-19.

Schools have also taken into consideration the factor that a lot of parents might be working from home and hence have devised e-modules in such a way that requires minimum parental support. At Matrikiran School, the focus is on not only academic but also on life skills to ensure the overall well-being of students.
