AIR starts radio classes for 70,000 students not having online access in Kashmir

Pre-recorded lectures broadcast for Classes 5 to 8

A series of four-hour radio classes, which started its broadcast on the All India Radio, Srinagar, in Kashmir on Wednesday, will help to cover the syllabus of all those students who have no access to Internet or smartphones. The radio classes were imparted for students from Class 5 to Class 8. “These sponsored slots on the AIR, Srinagar, are aimed at those students who could not attend the online classes since the pandemic broke out and the formal classes were stopped. Around 70,000 to 80,000 students are those who could not register on our Learning Management System (LMS), which maintains a record of all the students logged in for online classes. The LMS has a three-tier monitoring system to keep an eye on the online classes,” Director of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) Tassaduq Hussain Mir told The Hindu.
