In bunkers or in exile, Ukraine teachers resume online classes for Indians

In bunkers or in exile, Ukraine teachers resume online classes for Indians
Students evacuated from war-torn Ukraine have begun online classes from their home cities, with teachers sitting in countries like Romania, to which they fled, or in bunkers in Ukraine, report Tamaghna Banerjee & Mohammed Asif.
For a bunch of MBBS students from Bengal, it was like a reunion; they shared stories of survival, anxiety and hope as the first day of online classes kicked off.

"It was an emotional moment. Our teacher said he was happy that all of us were safely out of the country, but added that he was still in Ukraine and taking class from a safe location. He, however, cautioned that classes may get disrupted if trouble breaks out in the area," said Sheoraphuli resident Krishnashis Ghosh, a final-year student at Dnipro State Medical University.
Anubhav Chandel, a third-year student at Vinnytsia Pirogov National Medical University, said he had two online classes on Monday, attended by a group of 15 students from India, Nigeria and Morocco. "One of the classes was seamless as our pathology professor Anna said she was in Romania and taking class from there," Chandel said. "However, our radiology professor is still in Ukraine, looking after patients at a city hospital. Minutes into the class, she had to attend to an emergency and the class was suspended," he added. Students in Bengaluru, too, attended online classes. "On Sunday, the teacher had asked us on a chat on Telegram if everyone was safe and if we could join classes," said Chinmayie Chandrashekar, a student at OO Bogomolets National Medical University.
Mohammed Ali Aamir, a student of Lviv National Stepan Gzhytsky University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology who is now back in Karnataka, said some of his teachers had joined the Ukrainian army or were volunteering for rescue operations. "Many of the women professors have left for other countries and are going to take classes from there," Aamir said.
