The total percentage of children attending government schools in the country is around 51 per cent (UDISE). Yet, the number of children attending government schools in rural areas is more than 80 per cent. While previous studies have shown that issues of learning loss and below-grade appropriate learning predate the pandemic, the digital divide is exacerbated as children move out of brick-and-mortar schools and classes go online Is. This is more pronounced in government schools and budget private schools where a large proportion of the population comes from low-income families. According to a study by the Center for Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), the learning loss for students from low-income families in India could range from 50 percent to 80 percent during the pandemic. It is possible that the government has chosen to hire 38,800 new teachers over the next three years based on this and a wide range of other considerations. Let us better understand the information given in this video regarding the announcement.
