As a result of the lock-down owing to Covid-19, schools are exploring ways of supporting student learning. Given that the situation is not a short term challenge and is likely to pose difficulties intermittently, it is necessary to evolve [https://deccanherald.com/opinion/panorama/reclaiming-education-during-a-pandemic-866035.html appropriate and flexible strategies] to design learning possibilities for students, especially for students who may not receive much support at home. The flexible strategies will involve a combination of online sessions with offline activities, project-based learning, thematic learning, etc.

The flexible strategies will involve a combination of online sessions with offline activities, project-based learning, thematic learning, etc. Having no interactions with students, or relying only on online education would not be adequate and research says that students, particularly from marginalized backgrounds run the risk of malnutrition, dropping out of education, early marriages and child labour.
The TCOL program has aimed to support schools and teachers to integrate ICT in their teaching and this situation requires careful attention to possibilities of supporting learning, and the 2020-21 program will focus on this requirement.

=== Principles of the program ===
# Locating the teacher at the centre of the effort and supporting decentralized efforts by schools and communities, rather than a centralized one-size-fits-all program.
# Exploring multiple options to provide learning opportunities to students, beyond only 'digital education'
# Going beyond syllabi and textbook confines, to explore education in the context of an unprecedented pandemic, whose impact will stay for decades. This exploration is needed in line with the aims of education, to build concerned and capable citizens.
# Adequately resourcing schools and teachers to be able to respond to the challenges
