New Delhi: Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha on Tuesday (June 1) announced that the education department has decided to limit the daily online classes for students. The decision comes after a video of a six-year-old girl became viral on social media in which she complained to PM Narendra Modi regarding long hours of online classes. “The school education department has decided to limit daily online classes for a maximum one and half hours for class 1 to 8, spread across two sessions. For class 9 to 12 online synchronous learning will not be more than 3 hours,” Sinha said in a tweet.
