Digital divide poses a challenge in remote learning and teaching. Over the last one and a half years, the educational institutions moved to online learning as regular learning was suspended during the pandemic.

Technology played a critical role in making online learning interactive and smooth. However, there were still many challenges that created setbacks in the learning process.

A study by the Azim Premji Foundation showed that 60 percent of school children could not find access to online learning. Another study by Oxam India reported that there were tremendous issues of Internet signal and speed. Lastly, there were setbacks with the costs of mobile data, which became difficult for many to subscribe.

According to available data, only 20 percent of school-age children had access to remote education during the pandemic.

When the Covid 19 pandemic hit, there were several challenges that developed in the educational institutions. To mitigate these challenges, there is a need to focus on digital technology implementation in the education system.

Due to lack of access to technology, many children have dropped out of schools due to Covid 19 pandemic. “Digital schooling was the only logical way forward to continue learning for children during the pandemic. But now, there is a need to categorically address some pertinent issues for building a more resilient system for the future, regardless of whether conventional schooling or digital is the primary way forward,” said Amruta Singh, an education expert working on K12 education.

According to Sangeeta Gadre, a Delhi University professor, said, “While advancing the cause of digitalization, these challenges must be accounted for. We also need to be cognizant of the fact that women are proportionately more disadvantaged when it comes to the usage of digital devices.”

Schools in Delhi will remain closed for a week and classes will continue in virtual mode, said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal recently.

From November 15 onwards, the school will continue in online mode. This decision was taken by the Delhi government to curb air pollution in Delhi. The government will submit a proposal today to the Supreme Court on the lockdown plan.

While addressing the media recently, Mr Kejriwal said: “For a week from Monday onwards, schools will be physically closed (they can continue virtually) so children don’t have to breathe polluted air. ”

The Delhi government is worried about the increased air pollution and needs emergency measures to control it.

During this time every year, Delhi’s air quality deteriorates to hazardous levels due to stubble burning, coal-fired plants outside the city, emissions from transport and other industries and due to the impact of external factors.

Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia wrote on Twitter, “All schools, colleges and educational institutes in Delhi will remain shut next week as pollution levels hit emergency level.”

However, the delhi schools reopened from early November after a prolonged closure due to the ongoing Covis 19 pandemic.

Harekala Hajabba, a 68-year-old fruit seller has grabbed the attention recently. He received the Padma Shri award from President Ram Nath Kovind for building up a primary school with his earnings.

The dream to start a school in his native village came to his mind when he was selling oranges in his locality. It was then that a passer-by who was a foreign tourist asked him the price of an orange in English. He felt embarrassed as he could not understand the English language and hence, he could not reply to tourists.

“That day I vowed to make a school,” he said. He himself was not privileged to go to school and learn.

The village Newpadapu did not have a school and the village children were deprived of their right to education. To solve the issue, Hajabba invested all his life savings in providing schooling to the village children. His school is now established in one acre of land.

Currently, the school is upgraded to high school and is providing education as well as fulfilling the needs of the students.
