Every Saturday, students will be provided study material via social media platforms for the next four to five weeks, said sources in the education department.Schools have been shut down earlier this month due to the coronavirus pandemic and the school students have been promoted, en masse. "Starting March 28, we have provided students with the study materials and they are also given assignments to complete at home," said an official. tnn
