While the closure of educational institutions has protected students from coronavirus, its impact has been highly detrimental on the education & learning of India’s youth, especially those who do not have access to internet-based learning. Announcing Despite many impressive leaps in the education sector and the attention it is receiving from recent government policies, a lot remains to be accomplished to make it inclusive & impactful. There is no certainty as to when schools and colleges will resume; a prolonged gap is going to affect interest and ability to go back to learning. Announcing The lack of smartphones and high-speed internet, and the lack of availability of quality e-material in regional languages are major issues. How are we to cope with the losses suffered in learning and education because of these situations?
