The coronavirus pandemic has necessitated millions of schools and universities across the country to observe a precautionary shutdown. Over 1.8 million school going students are home-bound in the country. To bridge the learning gap during this time, Geneo, an interactive digital platform launched by Schoolnet India Limited has announced free live classes by Geneo mentors for students of class 6 through 10. Under the social initiative #LearningNeverStops, Geneo is offering live classes for Maths, Science and English, based on the first term syllabus of the new academic year of CBSE schools and those schools following the NCERT textbooks.

#LearningNeverStops has been launched following the advisory for schools to remain closed to safeguard the health of students. To ensure learning continues seamlessly at home, Geneo mentors will conduct topic-wise classes based on the school curriculum. Sessions will include access to learning videos and exploriments on the Geneo platform to achieve concept clarity. Mentor Support will eliminate doubts and assessments will also be recommended to prepare students for academic evaluation. Following the launch of live classes, the recorded sessions will be made available on Geneo Youtube channel for enabling easy access to everyone.

The Geneo platform also includes contributions from leading partners; Avanti, LabInApp, Khan Academy and English Helper. Learners can therefore access content of some of the world’s leading minds in the field of online teaching. Learning through prepared notes, videos, assessments and revision will help in strengthening the student’s knowledge in both theory and practical. 

Commenting on the initiative, Shourie Chatterji, head – Digital Initiatives, Schoolnet India Ltd says, “With COVID-19 outbreak, the learning lifestyle of millions of students has been affected across the world.
