Shillong, March 15: Education Minister Lahkmen Rymbui said the state government is taking steps to overcome the disruption to education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Replying to a query raised by Gambegre legislator Saleng A Sangma in the Assembly, Rymbui said class room teaching should return as online teaching is insufficient.
