As a response to this Pandemic, many countries worldwide closed schools, colleges, and universities to stop the spread of the virus. The sudden closure of schools colleges meant that education policymakers, college principals, and teachers had to find ways of study, which is the student's right to education. Many systems have adopted online teaching and learning. Online teaching and learning have been used by teachers and students worldwide. Many education systems moved activities online to allow instruction to continue despite school closures. According to reports,
Some families and teachers may struggle to provide such support - especially during this pandemic - because of a lack of time, insufficient digital skills or lack of guidelines, or lack of money. Students whose economic situation is low made less use of digital technologies than those whose economic situation is better. In addition, some teachers might also have struggled to adapt to online teaching due to a lack of digital skills.

Do you think schools and colleges should stop online learning because it is unfair to poor students who cannot afford an internet connection but are talented? A major section of society struggles for 2 square meals a day in this pandemic and empty pockets; many people are just fighting to survive. While 24% of Indians own a smartphone, this clarifies the economic diversity that we face even in the best of our days. Now during this pandemic, these numbers are likely to improve. Not to mention 66% of India's population reside in rural households, out of which 15% have an internet connection. For urban
, Lastly, access to electricity is also a very worst factor. As per data, only 16% of households receive electricity for 1 - 8 hours daily. The population this ratio goes up to 42%. At the same time, 33% receives electricity from 9- 12 hours daily. Lack of stable electricity connection and internet connection provides hard and challenging times to students who fall in such domain. We can penetrate this barrier using mass communication means of radio or national television. It would take a bit of re-imagining and restructuring as adopting such means can cater to a huge chunk of the population. Over 64% of the Indian population uses radio, and Doordarshan is the most-watched Hindi channel. This is not a full-proof solution and has problems of its own, but by little restructuring and creativity, the problems faced by poor students to stay connected via the internet can be overcome. Kerela Government did this exactly by Streams School Classes On TV In Malayalam & English.

The online platform simply means learning with the help of devices and software at your place without moving anywhere. But this is some expansive because these course holders don't give benefits to poor or who comes in backward category students in buying the course. Students have to buy new mobiles or laptops, which are not afforded by low-income families. Many talented and intelligent students remain behind because of these needs. Government should bring a scheme for poor students to give digital gadgets for online education. The government gives mobiles and laptops to low-income families, but they give to few.
The remaining students who are not benefited can't afford the online courses. Likewise, this is a direct loss of study. By offline mode, every student can ask questions directly face to face at any time, which is better than the online platform Classroom platform means teaching a student in a physical presence. Poor students can go to college easily. They have to afford only transport costs. The government gives scholarships and benefits to poor and backward category students. By looking at the study patterns and facility opted in online and in the classroom, it might have gone obvious to you that both are platforms are good and not bad.

Teachers are teaching students online. Some teachers are paid, but some are free. Teachers also face problems during online classes. Many teachers are making money through online teaching, and they take fees from the students and make a good profit. But some teachers don't take fees from students. They teach students through youtube and other platforms, and they know the problem of students who are not financially good, and they continue teaching the students. They face problems like misbehaving and others. But they are still teaching. These teachers only earn from that platform where they teach, like youtube, etc., not by students' fees. These types of teachers can be highly rated. This depends on the teacher how he is teaching.
By solving the problem of affording digital devices to students, there are many learning methods for talented students.
