*Emergency Report on School Education*

*(6 September, 2021)*

**

/A recent survey of nearly 1,400 school children in underprivileged 
households////brings out the catastrophic consequences of prolonged 
school closure in the last year and a half. In rural areas, only 8% of 
sample children are studying online regularly, 37% are not studying at 
all, and about half are unable to read more than a few words. Most 
parents want schools to reopen as soon as possible.///
