The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted educational institutions all across the nation to close and gave rise to a new set of challenges in the education industry. In the entirety, Meru International school was propelled with a surge to furnish education to all via digital learning amid lockdown through its Meru Virtual eSchool initiative. Little did we know (or estimate) the impact the virus would cause on our lifestyle and sustenance, let alone education!

Nevertheless, Meru, through its one-of-a-kind virtual learning infrastructure, is steering the boat of knowledge towards excellence by striving to sustain education in these unfortunate times with innovative learning techniques. Let’s face it, the virus is gauged to bide on the planet for at least a few more months before ceasing to exist!

A matter of concern

The declaration of indefinite holidays due to the lockdown (a viable option to curb the spread of the virus) has caused disruptions in the academic curricula and activity calendars prepared by the schools.

With the cancellation of in-person classes, the propensity for students to lose progress, which is aspired during the school year, has caused the teachers as well as parents to express concerns for the children’s academic development.

In the wake of such a dilemma, educators and school administrators are increasingly turning to e-learning technology to sustain education and help students resume their academics from the comfort of their homes. What about the schools which do not possess what is required to supply education online? Does it mean the students are on their own in this crisis? No!

Meru Virtual eSchool – Corporate Social Responsibility during the crisis

The unforeseen circumstances brought forth by the pandemic motivated Meru International School to explore various methodologies of teaching, and at the same time called upon Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of the school towards the nation and the society.

India is a nation where education is considered to be the birthright of every child. Meru, sharing the same value, is acting selflessly and going the extra mile in these unanticipated situations by providing limited—yet vast—access to it’s renowned and prominent Meru Virtual School as Meru Virtual eSchool to all the non-Meru students confined at homes.

Through the Meru Virtual eSchool CSR initiative, the school envisions to improve the online education ecosystem and amplify the dynamics of academics by supplying education to all those students whose schools cannot afford online learning, due to which children are shunted from knowledge.

Keeping the current situation in mind, the school embarked on a mission to help students in kindergarten to grade 9 resume their studies by allowing them to access Meru Virtual eSchool for free. For instance, a kindergarten student, upon registration, receives high-quality educational content corresponding to the curriculum in the form of rhymes, pre-created video lectures, puzzles, etc.

This noble initiative of Meru International School received an overwhelming response of 1000 subscriptions in under 3 weeks of introduction.

The students are making use of the platform to the utmost advantage and utilizing the same to learn actively and incessantly from a plethora of content. With more and more students signing up for the platform, the demand for new content has grown significantly, and Meru is proactively updating to supply more materials.

“The drive to learn the Meru way is immense and we are very happy to help the children learn this way through our eSchool initiative…” said Sriharsha G, Lead-Innovation and Strategy at Meru.

Virtual School – A smarter way to learn in the lockdown

Virtual School/Classroom at the time of its inception, merely served a platform for predefined content allowing tutors to upload materials and enabling students to stream the same. Over time, it progressed slowly due to the traditional chalk-and-blackboard-driven classroom—until an unexpected crisis befell and drove everyone indoors.

Virtual learning technique transcended from a noninteractive, individual learning journey to a collective, collaborative and personalized teaching and learning approach. It seamlessly allows students and teachers to interact online, share content, improve engagement, conduct online interactions, allocate assignments and homework, teach in real-time and more—much more.

Over the years, Virtual learning platforms have become more student-centric and user-friendly, the content has become more accessible (thanks to the Internet), compelling, appealing and very inclined towards the millennial mindset. It has additionally gotten possible to stimulate a healthy classroom environment with real-time interactions between learners and educators.

With the stern conviction that education is everything and all things around it are about preparing the children to be successful at doing what they love, the school’s quickly responded to the circumstances and came up with an incredible idea to contribute to the greater good through its Meru eSchool initiative.
