Alternative Teaching Method Adopting in Baglung:
For the prevention of coronavirus infection, the government has not been able to conduct formal classes since March 18. After the government urged the schools to adopt alternative teaching methods in case the formal classes could not be opened immediately, learning activities have also started in Baglung through alternative methods.
Most of the community schools have adopted community-based teaching methods while private schools have started teaching activities through online classes. Kushmaraj Upadhyaya, head of the Education Development and Coordination Unit, Baglung, said that toll education is being conducted in rural areas where online classes and modern media are not easily accessible.
Community schools have started teaching activities by dividing their school access area into tolls. Chudamani Subedi, principal of Mulpani Secondary School, said, "We have made it mandatory to wash hands with soap and water and use masks before conducting classes." ’
According to Principal Subedi, the community building, temple, and party have been set up to facilitate the students, homework checks, and participation in project work.
Hari Prasad Chalise, principal of Shiva Mavic, says that toll teaching and learning has been developed as an alternative medium due to the problem of children spending more time on mobile phones while watching TV. The school has conducted teaching and learning activities by maintaining social distance through 11 study centers.
Although most of the schools in the district-run toll education, some municipalities have postponed toll education after the illusion that the corona infection has spread in the community for the last time, said Upadhyaya, head of the coordination unit.
Due to the Karona infection that has caused the global epidemic, the government had postponed the annual examination of school level 1-9 ahead of the regular schedule. Most of the schools in Baglung had made the annual results public through the social network Facebook.
Quarantine was constructed in 166 schools of Baglung. Coordinating Chief Upadhyaya said that the enrollment campaign will be affected after the last increase in the corona infection rate after the government directed to conduct the school enrollment campaign from September 20. However, the local level has been urged to find an alternative to quarantine. The local level has been urged to evacuate the quarantined schools.
