Bengal : Ashina Gramin Library, an initiative to help for migrant workers during the lockdown period

 

Bengal : Ashina Gramin Library, an initiative to help for migrant workers during the lockdown period

How a Village Library Is Helping Students Who Can't Attend Online Classes

In Ashina, a village 50 km from Kolkata, residents have pulled together to ensure that students do not fall behind because of their lack of access to computers or phones.

Kolkata: Sanjina Khatun, a Class XI student of Nabasan Tustu Charan High School in Falta, is from a family of zari artisans from a village over 50 km away from Kolkata. She wants to study English in college and dreams of then working in an office in the city. But the possibility of her continuing studies was in question when both her parents stopped getting work as the lockdown that started in March went on. Her school was shut from end of March and tuition became unaffordable.

Like many students of Ashina village, comprising mostly of zari artisans, tailors and farmers, who cannot afford computers or mobile phones for online classes and even depend on schools for their books, Sanjina’s education had all but stopped.

How to Make Lessons Cohesive When Teaching Both Remote and In-Person Classes

How to Make Lessons Cohesive When Teaching Both Remote and In-Person Classes

Even in schools offering face-to-face instruction this fall, one “class” of students likely won’t be the coherent unit that it was in past years.

Within one 5th grade class, for example, students may be split in a hybrid schedule—half in-person two or three days, online the rest. Some may have opted for fully remote instruction while their classmates are in school buildings. The same teacher might be responsible for all of these students at once, or all 5th grade teachers might team up, each instructing in a different modality.
