Frequently Asked Questions
Why is traditional school becoming outdated?
Teachers with a class of 30 or so students inevitably end up having to spend much of their time
delivering material at a speed and level of difficulty that suits an average child. Some children master
the material effortlessly, and are at risk of getting bored. Others need a lot of help; a number of them
end up falling behind.
At the end of the school year almost everyone advances, even if they have not reached grade level. In
subjects such as mathematics, where each lesson builds on earlier ones, youngsters who proceed with
gaps in their knowledge make little sense of anything that comes after. Some school systems hold
children back a year, but usually only the very weakest. Holding back a student is not only costly, but
also increases the risk of that child dropping out entirely.
Why do teachers of Vikalp Online School teach better?
Teacher-to-Student ratio
In a traditional school there are around 50 students in a class. Even The (RTE) Act, 2009 allows 60
students in a class. Traditional public schools cannot take less students. Economics doesn’t work.
Consequently, teachers cannot pay individual attention, they have to teach according to the needs of
the average student. Above average students find the class boring and the below average fail to catch
up. In online school it's different.
In Vikalp Online School we have 6 to 9 students. Teachers can pay individual attention to each student.
This number (6 to 9) is ideal because it's small enough for teachers to pay individual attention and large
enough to do some group activities. In case students get stuck, teachers can see and take adequate
action so that there is no gap in their understanding. Consequently, no child is left behind. Moreover,
students learn from their peers while doing group activities.
Practical class with learning tools
In Vikalp Online school concepts are introduced using learning tools. Students do activities and discover
the concept first. Once they start understanding, then the theory class starts. Consequently, first
practical then theory. In this method there are no lectures. Students discover the concept on their own
while doing activities. Pace of learning is determined by students, not teachers. Teacher’s role is to
facilitate the activities so that the student learns.
Theory class supported by GenAI
After the practical class, theory class starts. School provides the lesson plans. Teachers use a lot of
interesting presentation and multimedia content to teach the theory part. All these world class contents
are created by Generative AI. Normal teacher in a traditional school cannot create this kind of content.
Quizzes and titbits created by Gen AI makes the class more interesting and make students reflect on
what they have learned. This AI enabled content management system takes learning to the next level.
Recruitment from all around the globe
Unlike traditional schools, our hiring is not limited to a particular region. You may not get all kinds of
teachers in the same town. Since we are an online school, we can hire teachers from anywhere in the
globe. We hired a Bharatanatyam teacher from Kerala and a French teacher from France. There is no
limitation. We can tap the best resources from anywhere.
In house teachers training
Our teachers are not regular Bed teachers who know theories of education. After hiring teachers, we
train them in-house in our teacher training institute. We train them on how to conduct activities using
learning tools, how to use Gen AI in theory class, how to teach students with different learning needs
etc. We teach all this which is not part of a regular teacher training. .
Aren’t online classes boring for students?
Online classes are boring if the class is lecture-based and there’s no opportunity for students to
participate. Moreover, if the material is too easy or too difficult, students will quickly lose interest. Some
students might find the material irrelevant to their lives or future goals. Finally, many students feel
disengaged when they’re not given enough opportunity to participate in classroom discussions or
exercises.
All this changes if class is activity-based where students not only participate but Do and Learn. This is
what happens in Vikalp Online school. There is no lecture. Concepts are introduced using learning tools.
Students do activities and discover the concept on their own. Teachers just facilitate this. Once students
understand the concept in practical classes, theories are introduced. This makes learning fascinating.
Curiosity is triggered as students are now able to connect the concepts with everyday life. Since class
size is small there is a lot of interaction between teacher and student. Online classes become
intellectually stimulating instead of boring.
Does online school work for children in early years?
Online schools do work for children in early years. In traditional schools there is limited flexibility and
adaptability. If the school bus is coming at 7 or 8 in the morning you will have to prepare tiffin and get
your child ready for school. It doesn’t matter if it classes with your office timing. In Vikalp Online school
you can choose a morning, afternoon or evening batch according to your suitability. Both office and
school can be managed more efficiently.
There is no safety issue or health risk in Online school. In Vikalp Online school your child will get
individual attention from parents so learning will be much better. Since activity-based methods are
followed in Vikalp, your child will Do and Learn on their own. Pace of learning will be decided by your
child. This works best for children in early years as lecture-based methods don’t work at all in early
years.
In Activity-based-learning your child will do a lot of age-appropriate physical activities. Moreover, the
screen time of your child is limited. Children watch the screen for a very limited period. Most of the time
they are doing activities and discovering concepts on their own. No one is telling them. Children develop
a sense of ownership in what they are learning.
This makes learning fascinating. Zero is zero, not because somebody told them so. It's zero because they
have discovered zero. Curiosity is triggered and learning becomes intellectually stimulating. And if this
can happen in early years your child will become a lifelong learner as the quest for finding new things
will never end.
Does online school mean long hours of harmful screen time for children?
Most of the Online schools copy physical schools. Consequently, if there are 6 to 8 hours of classes in
physical school, they do the same in online school. This is not correct. Duration of classes in an online
school cannot be so long. This is harmful for the eyes. In Vikalp, the duration of classes is short. We
strictly follow the WHO guidelines in this.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the following screen time guidelines by age:
Infants (less than 1 year of age): No screen time
1-2 years of age: No screen time
2 to 5 years old: No more than one hour
6 to 10 years old: No more than 1 & half hour
11 to 16: Not more than 2 hours
Adults: Not more than 4 hours

Besides the duration of the class, the student of Vikalp Online School spends very less time watching the
screen. There are no lectures for children to watch. Most of the time they are doing activities with tools
or exercises on their workbook. This method of teaching requires very less screen time and the syllabus
can be completed in very less time. This is so because teacher-to-student ration is very low. Teachers
can pay individual attention to each student. While doing activities teachers can identify and resolve the
learning gaps of each student. There is no need for long class hours in activity-based method. Long hours
are required in traditional schools where there are 50 or more students and the method of teaching is
lecture-based.
Classes in Vikalp are very similar to tuitions where there are 5 to 6 children. Duration of
tuition is never 8 hours. It's merely one or two hours of focused study. And during this period teachers’
teachers according to the students' individual requirements. This creates all the difference.
