Uri Teacher Builds School Website in Low Internet, Gets Praised

Aijaz Sheikh from Baramulla district is a school teacher of Information Technology (IT) at Government Higher Secondary Nambla, Uri. Sheikh is being praised for his development of the school website as well as an Android application, which he created to serve the children and teachers during these COVID times when distant/online classes are the only choices left.

Surprisingly, Sheikh used 2G internet available in Kashmir to work for the website creation. “This should have taken me just 15 days, but it took me around 3 months to get it done for the betterment of the students of my school and the staffers there,” Aijaz Sheikh told ANI.

“I, along with other teachers, decided to work on our school website following which we discussed it with our higher authorities. When the COVID-19 classes started, we also planned how we would start online classes for the students,” he added.

Explaining about his website, Sheikh explained, “Our website has a lot of sections including the admission section. Now students can apply for the admission online. We also have a result section on the website.”

Aijaz Sheikh’s efforts earn more praise because of the harsh weather conditions, electricity issues, and poor internet connectivity in and around Kashmir. Educators like him are an inspiration to many.
