#DigitalDivide#ExtendTheSemester#PandemicCannotBeExamTime
In complete solidarity with the protesting English and Foreign Language University Students. Education cannot be a privilege, semester needs to be extended, exam be postponed.
@EFLU_OFFICIAL how can we ignore those who lack internet and computer access that you have assumed everyone has! I myself do not have a laptop or a steady internet connection!

I've downloaded it. It's really very useful for everyone.
I request each one of you to download it and use it so that together we can drive away Corona Virus from India permanently.

The whole point of subsidised education is to make it accessible to all. Assuming that every student has steady internet AND a healthy mental state to meet deadlines and take online tests is borderline criminal. Our academia must do better.
#EfluAdminRollbackCircular
Despite the Students' Council asking for extension of deadline and exams due to the pandemic and to not end the semester hastily, the admin has been adamant at holding the exams as per the schedule.
There are many issues which the circular doesn't address.
Havint a ton of academic work during a pandemic is stressful. We have online classes on Google classroom or over video calls. But more than the workload, it is important to note that not all learners have access to these classes.(1/n) #stopdigitaldivide#SuspendOnlineClasses
EFLU admin disregards our concerns of accessibility, over-burdening and mental instability. No compassion, no humanity!
