Coimbatore: CPM members have asked the state government to take direct steps to make online education accessible to students from hilly areas such as Valparai, where cellular networks are not strong.
They had shot a letter to the Chair of the MK Stalin Minister, Head of Secretary of V IRAI ANBU and GS Sameran District in this matter on Wednesday.
Paramasivam, Secretary CPM Valparai, said more than 90% of families in this area were involved in the work.
“The school education department has suspended schools after the Covid-19 pandemic hit the country in March 2020 and has educated students online.
Many students in the Valpaya area do not have a smartphone.
Those who have smartphones must go to the estate border tea to look for cellular networks .
Very risky given the movement of wild animals.
Because mobile networks are poor in this region, most students are unable to access the online classroom.
“this shows that the state government has been using video lessons through channel Kalvi, said the channel was not available in the local cable network.
“This is only available on the Arasu cable network.
Although some requests in the past year, the government has not taken steps to bring Arasu cable networks to the region.
Cable networks, if taken to the region, will greatly help students.”
