Declining to stay the State government order permitting physical classes in all schools, Telangana High Court on Thursday instructed the government to ensure facilities were provided for students to attend classes online in all government schools.
The direction was passed by a bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili after hearing a batch of PIL and writ petitions on different matters relating to pandemic COVID-19. The bench said the government must make arrangements for students, who cannot attend physical classes, to avail online classes till February 28 in both government and private schools.
Advocate General B. S. Prasad assured the bench that students would be provided with the facility of online classes through satellite channel as was done during the first wave of COVID-19 in 2020.
