SOME RELEVANT DATA AND FIGURES

India's improved education system is often cited as one of the main contributors to its economic development the question that arises is, Do all children have access to the same quality of education?

 

While the sons and daughters of the top 10% are able to get good jobs and compete with the best in the world, the vast majority of poor kids will eke out a precarious living in the informal sector.

 

After eight years of schooling, only 43% of 14-18-year-olds could do simple division; slightly less than half couldn’t add weights in kilograms; more than 40% couldn’t tell hours and minutes from a clock; 46% didn’t know which city was the capital of India. We’ve been so busy congratulating ourselves for herding these kids into a school that we’ve forgotten to teach them anything.

 

COVID-19 IMPACT: MAJOR CHALLENGES FACED BY STUDENTS OF RURAL INDIA

 

The rapid shift to e-learning prompted by the pandemic has resurfaced long-standing issues of inequality and a digital divide in India that must be addressed by future economic, education, and digitization policies.

 

A total of 320 million learners in India have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and have transitioned to e-learning. With huge regional and household disparities in access to the internet and technology, this transition has not been possible for all students and educators

 

Many students either can’t afford personal laptops/smartphones or they are available for a limited time. Hence, learning remains restricted with the limited availability of technological devices.

 

CONCLUSION 

SES measures, such as income and education, have the potential to impact both Health-related qualities of life and Quality of life, and we have also been found to influence an individual’s life opportunities.
