 25th June 2020 The very topic is suggestive of a temporary shift of instructional delivery to an alternate delivery model due to crisis circumstances created by the Novel Corona Virus 2019. To respond to this situation, the world over, schools and educators are trying to transfer their normal curriculum to an online format and it is not an easy job.

Our kids today are living through the most information-rich age in history. They are bombarded with information through the T.V and the internet.

Education in our country and more so in this part of West Bengal is about compliance and conformity and strict adherence to standardized curricula and standard testing, which need to change if we really are to prepare our children for the unforeseen future. We have a mindset that has been passed on for generations ...
