The survey focussed on government primary and upper-primary schools where at least 50% of the children enrolled come from scheduled caste (SC) or scheduled tribe (ST) families.

New Delhi: Schools in Jharkhand are struggling with abysmal infrastructure, low attendance, a shortage of teachers, and inadequate funding after the Covid pandemic, a recent survey of 138 primary and upper-primary schools revealed. In a majority of these schools, teachers felt that "most" pupils had forgotten how to read and write by the time schools reopened in February 2022, it said, adding that little had been done to help these children.

The survey, conducted by Gyan Vigyan Samiti Jharkhand (GVSJ), a social movement driven by community-based volunteers, said that only 53% of primary schools and 19% of upper-primary schools in the sample had a student-teacher ratio below 30, as prescribed under the Right to Education Act. The survey focussed on government primary and upper-primary schools where at least 50% of the children enrolled come from scheduled caste (SC) or scheduled tribe (ST) families.

"In 2020-21, this fragile schooling system was hit hard by the Covid crisis. Primary and upper-primary schools were closed for two years - longer than anywhere else in the world," the report said, adding that school premises deteriorated for lack of maintenance.
