“Challenges faced by school students in India during the COVID-19 lockdown.”

Speech on Challenges faced by school students in India during the COVID-19 lockdown: 

I, Mangla Thakur, today would like to present my views on an emerging topic –“Challenges faced by school students in India during the COVID-19 lockdown”. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, state governments across the country temporarily closed schools, colleges, and universities.

Based on the current situation, it is uncertain when schools, colleges, and universities will be reopened. Undoubtedly, this is a critical time for the education sector, as several university entrance exams and competitive examinations are held during this period.

The digital divide has so far extended across India, further separating the wealthy from the underprivileged and tech-savvy from the tech-poor, with millions of children are struggling to meet the challenges of online classrooms.

The bottom line of the success of online courses is the engagement of students. The knowledge component is more natural to deliver in online mode. The transfer of skills through online mode is case dependent.

For example, conducting a design studio in an online mode could be very challenging. Conducting a lab based experiment may not be feasible. I feel skill-based courses also can be addressed. 

The field of education, which never reached the real level, is now potholed, vibrant, and bumpy-lumpy as students, and their teachers, in villages, cities, and towns struggle to cope with the demands of the times.

The COVID-19 pandemic that has forced people into their homes and forced schools, colleges, and universities to take virtual classes blew up educational dreams with ample conditions: a computer or at least a smartphone, a proper Internet connection, and an uninterrupted power supply. All this hampered education.
