The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the significance of digitization across sectors and education is no exception,” Rajat Singhal, Co-Founder, Cyboard School.

Each kid will be given time slots to raise doubts and the top three queries will be solved, handled and explained by the master teacher and the rest would be taken up by assistant teachers/coordinators. A series of daily, weekly and monthly assessments would be held regularly for kids’ assessments. Extra classes without any additional fee would be structured to fill in the gaps, wherever required.
