If the parents want to have online classes for their students and pay for the school fees then that’s their choice. Your order leads to exclusion, we need to adopt an inclusive method to make better decisions. #SaveOurSchools#RightToLearn@imBhupendrasinh@CMOGuj@PMOIndia
The reason some schools are not able to invest in tech is because of the 'no collection of fees' directive. Allow for schools to collect fees at least from those parents that can afford/willing to pay. #SaveOurSchools#RightToLearn@imBhupendrasinh@CMOGuj@PMOIndia
@Davos tells us that this is the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Digital citizenry is key. Digital illiteracy will take us out of the race. @PMOIndia & @imBhupendrasinh Please don’t stop schools & online learning but EXTEND it to everyone. #SaveOurSchools#RightToLearn
We don't know when the coronavirus will be over. It could take years. We might never find a vaccine. Will children sit at home and watch youtube all that time? We need our schools #SaveOurSchools@imBhupendrasinh
The order, even if aimed at populism, is ill informed and ill thought out. It does not help anyone. It just perpetuates the inevitable collapse of hundreds and possibly thousands of schools in the coming months. #SaveOurSchools#education@imBhupendrasinh@CMOGuj
The govt of Dubai reached out to schools and asked them to share best practices of online teaching. The inspectors are visiting schools, watching live sessions and formulating best practices. Instead, your order will close down schools in Gujarat @imBhupendrasinh
In Gujarat, we have some of the most talented educators that exist. Not just in Gujarat, but in India. I know a bunch of them. Seriously, they know what they're doing. Let them decide how to #teachonline#SaveOurSchools@imBhupendrasinh@CMOGuj
The order is arbitrary. They have banned schools from functioning and we have edtech companies like byjus and vedantu promoting it at the same time. Why these double standards? #SaveOurSchools#RightToLearn@imBhupendrasinh@CMOGuj
The order is denying an option for parents to choose what’s right for their kids. It is denying education & forcefully imposing its decision on free citizens. Let parents decide what’s right for their kid & many can’t teach them by themselves #SaveOurSchools
As Covid numbers continue to rise,several parents won’t be comfortable sending kids to school even if the government reopens schools. So kids need an alternative option to learn. The ban on collection of fees assumes that education is not important. #SaveOurSchools#RightToLearn
Parents should have a right to choose the format of their children's education, especially in such uncertain times. We don't know when #schools will open, so there have to exist various avenues for children to continue their #education#SaveOurSchools@imBhupendrasinh@CMOGuj
