All the headmasters had been instructed to draw up school development plans in consultation with parents committees, and academic plans for carrying out bridge courses and other hi-tech, low-tech and no-tech strategies to engage the children till the schools were reopened.
Help for students
It had been suggested that formation of WhatsApp groups be encouraged where the children had online devices (computers and android phones) for monitoring their work through such groups.
The teachers were directed to adopt 10 to 20 students each (students who did not have any digital infrastructure) and engage them academically till the schools were reopened.
Mr. Chinaveerabhadrudu requested the headmasters and teachers to ensure that TV lessons conducted in the Sapthagiri channel were watched by all students and the subjects grasped by them.
