The Challenge : Digital divide Disrupting Education
- The Covid-19 pandemic worsened the digital divide in India, impacting the education of children from poor and vulnerable communities during the last 1.5 years of school closures. India has the world’s second-largest pool of internet users, about 600 million. Yet half its population lacks Internet access, according to Government data.
- The Covid-19 lockdown in the country suspended physical classes in all educational institutions and moved teaching, learning and assessment of students to online mode. Only 2% of students from the poorest income groups have access to computers with the internet, only 3% have access to computers at home and 10% have access to the internet through any of the digital devices. A total of 320 million learners in India have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to UNICEF (October, 2020).
