No technology to access online classes? No problem, teachers will come to your house. A BMC-run school in Ghatkopar has come up with a novel system to visit students who do not have smart devices and clear their doubts and teach complex problems. This is being done to ensure students do not drop out of school as they contribute to their families’ efforts to earn a livelihood.

The Barve Nagar Municipality Secondary School in Ghatkopar had been sending homework on parents’ WhatApp numbers and calling students to check on their progress. But with the reopening of schools put on hold again, the school had to come up with newer solutions, especially for Std X students as board exams approach. That's how the plan to visit students was created. It has been embraced by teachers, too.
