&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Even as online learning increasingly replaces traditional learning, around 45.6% of children enrolled in schools in Bihar have no smartphone at home, according to the latest Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2021. The findings of the latest report released by the Pratham foundation on Wednesday make Bihar the state with the largest digital divide in the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;West Bengal had the second largest population of children enrolled in school with no smartphone at home (41.6%), while Uttar Pradesh was not far behind with 41.1% of children without smartphones at home, the report found. The report is based on responses from 75,234 children (5-16 years of age) from 581 districts in 25 states. Because of the pandemic, the survey was conducted over the phone between September-October 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Kerala was the best-performing state when it comes to school children with at least one smartphone at home (97.5%), followed by Himachal Pradesh (95.6%), Manipur and Nagaland (92.9%)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Across the country, overall, 67.6% of children enrolled in school had a smartphone at home in 2021, a marginal improvement from 2020, when 61.8% of schoolchildren had at least one smartphone at home. However, smartphone availability has more than doubled amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2018, only 36.5% of schoolchildren had at least one smartphone at home. Even though smartphone ownership has increased, children&amp;#39;s access remained an issue, the report said.&lt;/p&gt;
