With little possibility of schools reopening during current academic session due to the ongoing third wave of Covid pandemic, Odisha government will resume live streaming of online classes for class I to VIII students on YouTube from Thursday.

State Project Director of Odisha School Education Programme Authority (OSEPA) has directed all the district education officers of the State in this regard.

As per the direction by OSEPA, the live streaming of online classes will continue from Monday to Friday. The links of each live streaming online classes will be shared to the students in WhatsApp groups a day before. Each class will be of 30 minute duration. Though the classes will be streamed live, students can access them anytime.

The YouTube live streaming for school students comes after Odisha school and mass education department tried online learning through WhatsApp, Google Meet, Zoom and Skype.

Earlier, the digital learning programme of the State government evoked a dismal response as the majority of students skipped it on a regular basis due to various reasons.

OSEPA has directed district authorities to instruct school teachers to speak to parents and encourage them to allow their wards to access YouTube classes at any time of the day.
