Teaching and learning activities had to be taken online when the pandemic forced the closure of schools and colleges. While technology has ensured that learning is not completely suspended, the digital divide is making remote learning an &#8216;operational nightmare&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">60% of students cannot access online education learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A study by the Azim Premji Foundation revealed that nearly\n60 percent of school children in India cannot access online learning\nopportunities. A similar study conducted by Oxfam India found that half of the\nparents of students from urban private schools reported problems with internet\nsignal and speed. A third was battling mobile data costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Azim Premji Foundation reports; According to a new national sample survey by ICRIER and LIRNEAsia, a think tank focused on digital policy, only 20 percent of school children in India had access to distance learning during the pandemic, of whom only half attended live online lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">School dropout rate during covid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, 38 per cent of the households said that at least\none child had dropped out of school due to Covid-19. \u201cDigital schooling was the\nonly logical way for children to continue learning during the pandemic. But\nnow, some relevant issues need to be clearly addressed in order to build a more\nresilient system for the future, regardless of traditional schooling. Or be it\ndigital education. The primary way forward,&#8221; said Amrita Singh, an\neducation expert working on K12 education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Delhi University professor Sangeeta Gadre, the\nproblem of digital divide was faced at both ends of the academic transaction,\nbe it teachers or students. \u201cWhile advancing the cause of digitalisation, these\nchallenges should be taken care of. We also need to be aware of the fact that\nwomen are proportionally more disadvantaged when it comes to the use of digital\ndevices,\u201d Ms. Gadre he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relevance of technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Urvashi Sawhney, Fellow of the Center for Universal\nEducation at the Brookings Institution, said, \u201cTechnology has the potential to\nachieve universal quality education and improve learning outcomes. But to\nunleash its potential, address the digital divide and the embedded gender\ndivide. should be done. .&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Technology and access to the Internet is an urgent\nneed in the information age. It should no longer be a luxury,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a professor at Ambedkar University, &#8220;The\ndigital divide is making distance learning an operational nightmare. More than\na year into the pandemic, it is still a challenge and cannot replace\ntraditional classroom learning.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchurcollege.com\/college\/azim-premji-university\">https:\/\/www.searchurcollege.com\/college\/azim-premji-university<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Azim Premji Foundation reports;
