-Press statement by the National Coalition on the Education Emergency (NCEE) dated March 17, 2022

The NCEE conducted a rapid households survey of parents in Karnataka, Telangana and Tamil Nadu about their children's education during the pandemic and the main finding of this study is that poor parents are desperate about the education future of their children and fully conscious of the devastating toll that prolonged school closure has taken on the learning, socio-emotional development and behaviour of their children. This is the first study, to our knowledge, that captures parents' thoughts and opinions, after the opening of schools.

Between 70 and 80 percent of households felt that their children’s ability to read and write had declined or stayed the same (or they were unable to assess). Parents highlight the changed behavior, lack of focus and attention and the addiction to mobile phones amongst the children.

The opinions about online education are unequivocal: that children learnt virtually nothing. Parents are overwhelmingly in favour of keeping schools open for in-person learning. The study also highlights that the period of school closures deepened inequality in the system: While children from poor and marginalized families found it challenging to even access online education, those parents who could support their children’s online education felt that their children had made some academic progress, even during the pandemic.

We urge the readers of the attached report to go through the individual testimonies of parents, apart from the quantitative data. It is our hope that policy makers and administrators will also reflect this level of deep understanding about the critical situation on the ground while developing their policies and programmes.
