Bridging the learning gap
The coronavirus pandemic has had a catastrophic impact on schoolchildren. Is it time to rethink education?
The coronavirus pandemic has had a catastrophic impact on schoolchildren. More than 300 million students in India have been impacted due to school closures as the country battled the health crisis. Many have shifted completely to online classes for more than a year, but millions of others haven鈥檛 had access to digital platforms.
So, what鈥檚 been the fallout as schools begin to take small steps to resume offline classes? How can students recover the lost learning curve? And what about their social-emotional wellbeing? Is it time to rethink education?
In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we discuss the challenges and the solutions needed to bridge the learning gap.
