Network problem for online classes; Edu Min appeals to the government for solution

Bengaluru: With the government trying all options for online education, it has not got the desired response due to poor internet connectivity in the remote areas of the state.

Many times students had to trek for a few kilometers in certain areas to get a proper signal so that they could attend classes.

Recently, a picture of a girl attending her online class amid heavy rains while her father held an umbrella over her head had gone viral on the internet. The picture was reportedly shot in Ballaka, a remote village in Sullia taluk in Dakshina Kannada district.

However, Education Minister Suresh Kumar has appealed to the Chief Minister to find a solution and put an end to network issues.

In a letter to the Chief Minister, Suresh Kumar said that all the network operators in the state should convene a meeting and instruct the authorities to resolve the issue.
