Hyderabad: Making it clear that it is donning the role of parents, the Telangana high court on Thursday sought to know from the state government, details and guidelines of its online education policy and safeguards it has for the poor and the primary school kids.
A bench of Chief Justice Raghvendra Singh and Justice B Vijaysen Reddy said: “We are insisting on the poor because they cannot afford to procure the latest gadgets and primary kids because they cannot withstand long hours of continuous on-screen teaching.”
The judges said the attention span of a primary school child is not more than 10 minutes. “You (government) cannot harass him or her for hours together. That too in a virtual school that has no playground or fun. Already, we are hearing disturbing stories of DPS and Oakridge imparting four to five hours of non-stop teaching,” they said while hearing a PIL filed by Hyderabad School Parents’ Association (HSPA).
