The recent MHA Order “Unlock” [Govt. of India, Ministry of Home
Affairs, Order No. 40-3/2020-DM-I(A) dated May 30, 2020] states that the date
for reopening of educational institutions is to be decided in the month of
July. The mode of online education is thus, likely to carry on for a few more
months before normal classes resume. In these circumstances, this article aims
to address the impact on right to education during the crisis, challenges posed
by the online class regime, and the question of whether the school fee has to
be paid in the current situation.
