With no clarity on colleges reopening, students trend WAKEUPUDAYSAMANT online
Many also demanded that educational institutes be directed to lower their fee and the students be given time to make the payments.
By afternoon, hundreds of such posts had flooded social media, with students demanding that colleges be reopened and also that educational institutes be directed that fees be reduced and they be given time to make the payments.
(File) Even as the school education department is planning to allow students as young as 11-year-olds into classrooms, the announcement by the higher and technical education minister, that his ministry is yet to decide on reopening colleges for undergraduate and postgraduate students owing to the COVID-19 crisis, has not gone done well with the students.
Angered over the delay in reopening colleges and demanding that fees be reduced if lectures are online, students on Monday took to social networking site Twitter, starting a new trend, WAKEUPUDAYSAMANT.
One student, Utkarsh Sorte, questioned how long it would take to reopen colleges. “My college didn’t lower the fee. In online classes, we haven’t understood a thing. So, please reduce the college fees and reopen the college,” he tweeted.
