Students of Delhi University (DU) have taken to Twitter with the hashtag ‘ReopenDU’ to voice their disappointments regarding the varsity not reopening colleges. The Delhi government has allowed the reopening of schools and colleges in the capital from September 1.
One of the college students shared a screengrab of a story posted on Instagram on her Twitter handle which read, “What’s the use of graduating from a prestigious college? I’ll intentionally fail myself and get a back year if my classes did not resume till the end of this year. Can you imagine the pain of studying PDFs on a laptop?”
“…A year has gone, and it’s enough. I do not even know what’s it like being a graduating student. I am not learning anything,” she added.
Sharing the image, other students, in the caption, wrote, “I don’t think someone else could explain the condition of helpless students more accurately. What’s the point of getting a degree and be clueless?”
Came across this piece on Instagram. It was written by one of my college mate (same year). And I don’t think someone else could explain that helpless feel of students more accurately. What’s the point of studying online only to get a degree and be clueless? #reopendu pic.twitter.com/3hgKfoaduP— Astha Gupta (@AsthaGupta1211) August 25, 2021
Retweeting the screenshot, many students raised questions for the administration and the education ministry. One student said, “This is what every student feels now. I don’t know what the DU administration is planning to do.”
Another wrote, “Our future is getting darker and darker day by day. Online classes aren’t helping us in any form.”
Never prepared to reopen, only excuses to delay, if ever they cared about the future of students, what a shameless system, worldwide schools and universities are open but DU will still keep on conducting the useless meetings https://t.co/WlFmORQ6JX— Gaurav awatramani (@indiaawakening7) August 31, 2021
