Due to these obstacles, said Sri, as a result, students cannot listen directly from the teacher.
"Sometimes the teacher wants to (teaching via) zoom in a week several times but can't. For one time (online learning) that's not all, 32 children who join. have to wait a long time (until students gather)," he explained.
Meanwhile, students who cannot participate in online learning, Sri continued, usually do the assignments given after studying. The problem is that students find it difficult to do assignments because they do not understand the learning material.
