Students have been taking online classes for the last one year amid the pandemic
New Delhi:
Bhushan, 16, a Class 11 student and his 15-year-old sister Renuka, who is in Class 10, live in a one-room house in Delhi s Trilokpuri. They are among thousands of students across India who have not gone to school for the last one year and have to depend on online classes.
The Central Board of Secondary Education s (CBSE) decision to retain 100 per cent syllabus for Classes 9 to 12 for this session, unlike 30 per cent reduction last year, has hit them hard. In their case, the challenge is bigger - they take online classes in evening on their only phone in the family when their father returns home from work.
