Online classes to commence in UP universities, colleges from May 20

LUCKNOW: After suspension of online classes for almost 10 days, the universities and higher education institutes across Uttar Pradesh will commence online classes from May 20. However, no student is allowed to be physically present on the campus.

An order issued by special secretary higher education Abdul Samad said that instead of classroom teaching, classes for all subjects will be conducted in an online mode. The head of the institutions have been asked to convince students to make maximum use of the digital library created by the higher education department. The digital library provided high quality e-content uploaded by the top teachers from state and private universities in UP.
The government has left to the vice-chancellors and principals on whether or not to call teachers on campus. All other administrative staff and class four employees are to be called on campus on alternate days. All higher education institutions have been asked to prepare a weekly roster so that on a given day, only 50% employees remain present on campus while remaining 50% work from home.

In case of any teacher or student who develops post Covid complications, the departmental head and the vice-chancellor in case of universities and the principal for colleges, in accordance to Covid-19 protocol, will decide on whether or not to run online classes for the subject.
