KOLKATA: An online class can’t be held for more than 30-45 minutes, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has suggested to schools. Recommending screen time appropriate for students of different ages and keeping an eye on the children’s health, the council has suggested the maximum duration for each period, the number of classes that can be held in a day and mandatory breaks that have to be given between periods. According to the guidelines, in the pre-primary classes, the duration for interactive sessions with parents should not exceed 30 minutes.
