Many institutions are not equipped for online teaching, says ANU Special Officer
The coronavirus pandemic has delivered a blow to the economy with unprecedented challenges and the education sector is no exception, according to Acharya Nagarjuna University Ongole campus Special Officer B. Krishna. Addressing the valedictory of a UGC-sponsored seminar on the ‘Impact of COVID-19 on Indian Economy’ on Thursday, he said the sudden shift to online learning without planning in India, where the infrastructure for it was not ready and the curriculum not designed for such format, had posed a risk of many students becoming passive learners due to low attention span.More Related News
