resource)

Hon'ble Chief Minister,
Maharashtra

The *National Coalition on the Education Emergency* has  produced a
*Research Brief* which summarizes research studies conducted across
India and selected international studies between early 2020 and mid of 2021.

The research findings convey a grim picture.***Continuous school
closures and the limited reach of online/remote learning has had
catastrophic consequences for children, on the academic, emotional,
nutritional, social and economic fronts.*

 1. *More than 90% of underprivileged parents (97% in rural areas)want
    schools to reopen as soon as possible (SCHOOL, 2021)*
 2. *Only 4% of students in rural areas and less than 20% in urban areas
    have access to essential digital infrastructure. (Reddy et al., 2020)*
 3. As early as mid 2020, UNESCO estimated that about 14 crore students
    in primary school and 13 crore in secondary school had been affected
    by the lockdown in India (UNESCO, 2020).

We must act now to _RESUME and RENEW Education for 26 Crore Children!
https://educationemergency.net/2021/08/resume-and-renew-education-for-26-crore-children


  * *State Governments should open schools (from anganwadis to high
    schools) at the earliest. Younger children should be prioritized*
  * Guidelines should be put in place for safe reopening of schools and
    for helping children to resume their learning.
  * All teachers and non-teaching staff should be vaccinated on a
    priority basis.

Suggested measures for school re-opening:

  * Open schools safely: provide health and sanitation measures; ensure
    vaccination and testing of teachers; pre-plan seating arrangements;
    limit numbers per classroom, alternate attendance, use additional
    public buildings and open spaces
  * *Communicate with parents and engage them in the school reopening
    plans: Bring every child back to school.*
  * *Provide Mid-Day Meals to all students in publicly funded schools,
    whether they are attending physically or remotely.*
  * *Design effective strategies for schools and teachers to support
    students’ socio-emotional well-being and address learning gaps.
    Provide a 6 month period where teachers can work with children based
    on their learning needs and contexts. Beginning with grade-level
    text books will lead to large scale school dropout.*

*
The National Education Emergency Coalition is collating good practices
and evidence to support school re-opening strategies.*
