From virtual classes to online exams, the Corona Virus pandemic has forced the education system to adjust to the new modes of learning and trends to ensure seamless delivery of the curriculum. With this, the pandemic has brought into sharp focus the gaps in the digitization in the education system in India. While the children in private schools are taking live classes with the teachers, Government students are still teacherless even online.
