During the question hour session in the National Assembly on Friday, Dewathang-Gomdar MP Ugyen Dorji raised concern about online classes, especially Google Classroom, still in practice in schools throughout the country. The MP highlighted that the use of mobile phones for homework poses challenges to students in remote areas with network issues besides being a financial burden.
However, the education and skills development minister said that relying solely on traditional methods of teaching may lead the students to miss out on digitisation. He also said the government spent around Nu 1bn for digitising the education system.
