How a school for attention-deficient children in Mumbai is coping with learning in the age of coronavirus

According to her, managing a school designed to teach students with developmental disabilities during the pandemic has proven to be an extremely challenging task. The educational institution director noted that the tools for online learning helped the school withstand the lockdown. She also stressed the importance of using the recreation room where the teacher works with the student on a one-to-one basis. This room has become especially indispensable for TABIS students during the preparation period for exams, because they are more difficult to pass for TABIS students than students in regular schools.

Pia said that to prepare for the new school year, which lasts from June to April, schoolteachers have had to give up their annual leave during the holidays. However, as the Director has pointed out, this has benefited the educators, as the new learning tools teachers have found can be actively used after the pandemic. She considers constant self-education in the matter of new learning technologies to be the key to a successful future for any educational institution.
