Online Classes: The Future Of Education

A few years ago, the thing that was barely used by any educational institution has become a big part of every student’s life today. Since 2020, most universities and schools in India have switched over to online learning for safety reasons.

“I am glad that Orchids – The International School continued their online classes immediately realizing the situation.” Said Rashmi, a resident of Bengaluru, who lives with her husband and two kids.

“Online school has given me a respite from getting up at 5 am. Now I just have to prepare breakfast for my family. I have more time and energy to focus on my kids and can spend more time with them. I can even help them with their homework, although it is rarely needed since Orchid’s teachers know how to make the students do the homework even in the online classes,” she said.

Online doubt clearing classes have always been a part of Orchids educational facilities, but the last year made its need even more apparent. Since the start of lockdown, the management and staff of all the Orchids Schools are working diligently to provide the same quality of education in online classes as the kids received in the physical classroom. This requires organizing and streaming the curriculum and channelizing it every day.

As Orchids – The International School started their online classes on 18th March 2020, Mr. Rajesh Ranjan, father of Tusharnshu says, “Orchids – The International School was the first school in the pandemic situation that started regular online classes.”

While some parents are very happy with online classes, the immediate availability of the staff members, some others had doubts at the beginning. “During the lockdown due to coronavirus, we shifted to online learning, and I was very skeptical about how this will go”, stated Tejas Raje. His daughter is currently in 3rd Grade at Orchids. But on seeing how smoothly the school is handling the online classes, he could not help but be impressed. “I really like the creativity of the teachers while they take the virtual classes and my daughter loves it. She’s taken like a fish to water when it comes to online classes,” he said.

Although it is unavoidable due to the ongoing pandemic, online classes are slowly but surely progressing on a path to becoming a permanent part of education. Quite a few international schools, with their global structure, provide kids with the chance to network with peers from the other side of the world.
