MGP demands suspension of online classes until network issues are resolved
Representative imagePANAJI: With students facing hardship in attending online classes due to poor connectivity, MGP’s senior functionary Ramkrishna ‘Sudin’ Dhavalikar on Monday demanded suspension of online classes until network issues in the state are resolved. He also demanded that the students from poor backgrounds be given smartphones free of cost.
In a memorandum submitted to chief minister Pramod Sawant, Dhavalikar said, “Due to the pandemic, parents have lost their jobs and businesses have been shut. In such circumstances, how will they buy smartphones for their children?”
Referring to the media reports with regards to the poor connectivity across the state, Dhavalikar said “I want the government to stop the online education till the necessary infrastructure is put in place to improve connectivity.”
Dhavalikar said that proper connectivity should reach all parts of the state as there are network issues in Panaji as well.
The Marcaim MLA said that he will move a calling attention motion on the issue and if the speaker does not allow it, then he will sit in the well of the house. “This is a very important issue as it is connected to the future of the children and government cannot play with the life of students,” he said
Dhavalikar added that the teachers should be given training for online education and that the state government should make sure that the teachers visit the houses of poor students.
Stating that the government has failed on the education front, he said, “We have to provide quality education in rural areas.”
MGP also submitted the memorandum to both the collectors. Dhavalikar said that from Tuesday, they will submit the memorandum to all the deputy collectors as well.
