Abstract


The Internet has significant impact on students’ learning outcomes. This paper outlines an examination of school students’ understanding of using Internet facilities. As qualitative research, it employed Internet-based semi-structured interviews to accumulate data and the investigation of various archived documents allocated a ground for analysis. The study examined how school students use Internet to improve collaborative learning, advance technological skills, and explore digital resources. The Internet has become an alternative means to physical classrooms to continue educational activities during the COVID-19 crisis. During the study, limited ICT infrastructure, weak Internet services, parents’ unreliable source of income and teachers’ inadequate ICT skills have been recognized as major challenges to supplying education for all through online mode. The findings indicated that students from disadvantaged and marginalized groups in rural areas can get support in distance learning and foster equal access to high-quality education if the concerned authority develops a minimal ICT skilled workforce and infrastructure.
