cost, better technology & due to current pandemic
situation.
However, it cannot entirely replace traditional class
room teaching.
The best bond between a teacher & student can be
established in the classroom teaching only.
The value of discipline,punctuality and other ethics can
be inculcated in young mind at school only.

maintain a healthy balance between
E-education & class room
education so that benefit of both
can be reaped properly.
