Am immediate way to mitigate the teaching - learning crisis for schools could be to adopt the Google for Education's free G Suite Edition and avail the Covid -19 related special offer of free usage of Hangout meeting capabilities.

In case any help is needed w.r.t. the same, book a slot herein for a no-obligation free consultation.
