Bhubaneswar: With the schools in Odisha closed in light of the COVID-19 situation, the state government chose to begin online classes for Classes I to VIII students on YouTube from Thursday, January 27.
The Odisha School Education Programme Authority (OSEPA) has directed all District Education Officers (DEOs) to adopt necessary measures in this regard.
With one class in a day, the online classes on YouTube are set to be conducted five days a week from Monday to Friday.
For proper communication, WhatsApp groups with concerned teachers and students will be created class-wise. The links of live streaming will be shared in the group a day before 5 pm.
Steps will be taken by district administrations in creating awareness at the community level for more participation in the online classes.
It may be recalled that in June 2021, the Odisha government held online classes on YouTube for students due to the COVID-19 second wave.
