With the Coronavirus spreading to over 100 countries, several governments are closing down Online education institutions as a precautionary measure, resulting in the disruption of studies. Mass shutdown of schools and colleges is also on the cards in countries like Australia. In the US, Harvard and the University of Washington have already taken that path.
In India too, several state governments have shut down schools for a period of 14 days to contain the spread of the disease. In the wake of state government’s decision to close Cinemas, Gyms and Several Primary Schools voluntarily shutting down in the state due to outbreak of Coronavirus, Mr. Rustom Kerawalla, Chairman of Ampersand Group, which runs VIBGYOR High School, has stressed the need to include online education as part of the curriculum.
