As the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, children are bearing the brunt of it, with education practically at a standstill, owing to schools being closed as a precautionary measure.
As per a UNICEF monitoring report at the beginning of this year, approximately 825 million learners were affected due to school closure in response to the pandemic, with 23 countries implementing nationwide closure and 40 implementing local closures, impacting about 47 percent of the world’s student population.
In India, the lockdowns, which began in tandem with the rest of the world in March 2020, still show no signs of being lifted, as the nation battles out a second more deadly wave of COVID -19.
After successfully completing the last academic year entirely online, including formative and summative assessments, GIG International School, top CBSE school in Vijayawada took further strides in its quest for seamless learning as it commenced its new session online for academic year 2021-2022 on 5th April.

Staying ahead of the situation, we have rolled out classes for all grades, online.
GIG International School, top CBSE school in Vijayawada is a branch of the highly acclaimed GIG International School Singapore, considered amongst Singapore’s best international schools. Our faculty and educational experts in Singapore were instrumental in designing the Home Based Learning processes for GIGIS Vijayawada. They also mentored our Vijayawada faculty, continuously guiding them and sharing new trends globally in online learning. As a result our teachers were much more hands-on and better at structuring lesson plans, assessments, evaluations and providing regular feedback to students and their parents.
On a highly secure online platform with customized online tools, our teachers have mastered the art of online teaching – from posture to vocal modulation apt for online to eye care exercises; from explaining complex concept simplified for online; and ensuring active participation of all the students logged in. As a result online classes conducted by our teachers feel more like the real thing with 100% attendance.
Home Based learning develops critical thinking skills from an early age. It fosters in them the aptitude for research and self-study. Learning by rote is not an option as students are encouraged to develop a questioning attitude and then seek answers by themselves. This builds in children self-reliance and an independent attitude towards acquiring knowledge.
Another important aspect of Home Based Learning at GIGIS, Vijayawada is that students learn to harness technology for futuristic skill-based learning. GIGIS is leading the change in learning methodologies by introducing more immersive experiences. Extensive use of the latest technology practices in education across classrooms, campus – from IQ panels, Digital Displays to technology-enabled learning and early exposure to STEAM & Enterprise 4.0 disciplines eg., coding from class2, AI, Robotics, ensure that your child is comfortable with tech aspects of a rapidly changing world.
