Collegedunia Team: Describe the general setting of WAT / GD (if any).

Manav: GD was online with 10 students and 2 moderators were moderating the GD. Yes, everyone was able to speak and around 30-60 seconds was given to think. In the beginning, it was an aggressive one but after everyone got a chance to speak there was no hassle. 

Collegedunia Team: What was the WAT/GD Topic?

Manav: Topic for GD- Impact of Covid-19 on school education in India.

Collegedunia Team: What was your answer/points put forward for the WAT or GD respectively? 

Manav: Due to Covid-19, many changes came to our world and It took some time for everyone to adopt the new normal. The Covid-19 impact was everywhere, which resulted in the closure of Schools and other educational institutions.

Initially, most governments have decided to temporarily close the schools to reduce the impact of Covid-19. Later it was reopened for a few grades, which increased the number of infection rates and then closed again.

Though schools are closed, students are attending their classes through various education initiatives like online classrooms, radio programs. Though it is a good thing happening on the other side, there are lots of students who don't have the resources to attend the online classes. Many students are struggling to obtain the gadgets required for online classes.
