&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns disrupted the education of millions of students in India. When schools reopened, many never went back.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At 10 am on a Tuesday in November, a group of children aged around 7 walked slowly towards their school in Mudnal Dhodu Thaanda, a Banjara community settlement in North Karnataka&amp;rsquo;s Yadgir district. The children were dressed in their school uniform: light blue shirts and dark blue skirts and pants. They were in good spirits &amp;ndash; across the country, schools had only begun reopening two months earlier after remaining closed for more than a year and a half in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The children seemed lost to the world around them as they chatted with each other.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Around the same time, four teenaged girls aged around 14 stood by a handpump in the village, chatting and laughing as their pots filled up. Two years earlier, they too would have been making their way towards their schools. This year, however, they were to spend their day on household chores, after their parents left for work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Shale bittubitvi [we have quit school],&amp;rdquo; said one of the girls, Nandini, when I spoke to them soon after, at one of their houses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The four friends, who belong to the Banjara community, designated as a Scheduled Caste in Karnataka, are among the millions of children in the country whose school lives have been upended by the pandemic. In March 2020, schools across the country were shut in response to the spread of Covid-19. Classes were moved online, but this measure excluded millions of children who did not have access to digital devices and internet connections. When schools gradually reopened, many children, particularly those who already faced obstacles to their education, did not return.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There are varying estimates of how many children have been affected, and to what degree.&lt;/p&gt;

The children were dressed in their school uniform: light blue shirts and dark blue skirts and pants. They were in good spirits &amp;ndash; across the country, schools had only begun reopening two months earlier after remaining closed for more than a year and a half in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Two years earlier, they too would have been making their way towards their schools.

Classes were moved online, but this measure excluded millions of children who did not have access to digital devices and internet connections.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns disrupted the education of millions of students in India. When schools reopened, many never went back.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At 10 am on a Tuesday in November, a group of children aged around 7 walked slowly towards their school in Mudnal Dhodu Thaanda, a Banjara community settlement in North Karnataka&amp;rsquo;s Yadgir district. The children were dressed in their school uniform: light blue shirts and dark blue skirts and pants. They were in good spirits &amp;ndash; across the country, schools had only begun reopening two months earlier after remaining closed for more than a year and a half in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The children seemed lost to the world around them as they chatted with each other.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Around the same time, four teenaged girls aged around 14 stood by a handpump in the village, chatting and laughing as their pots filled up. Two years earlier, they too would have been making their way towards their schools. This year, however, they were to spend their day on household chores, after their parents left for work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Shale bittubitvi [we have quit school],&amp;rdquo; said one of the girls, Nandini, when I spoke to them soon after, at one of their houses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The four friends, who belong to the Banjara community, designated as a Scheduled Caste in Karnataka, are among the millions of children in the country whose school lives have been upended by the pandemic.

The children who quietly dropped out of school -Johanna Deeksha

-Scroll.in The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns disrupted the education of millions of students in India. When schools reopened, many never went back. At 10 am on a Tuesday in November, a group of children aged around 7 walked slowly towards their school in Mudnal Dhodu Thaanda, a Banjara community settlement in North Karnataka’s Yadgir district. The children were dressed in their school uniform: light blue shirts and dark blue skirts and pants. They were in good spirits – across the country, schools had only begun reopening two months earlier after remaining closed for more than a year and a half in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The children seemed lost to the world around them as they chatted with each other. Around the same time, four teenaged girls aged around 14 stood by a handpump in the village, chatting and laughing as their pots filled up. Two years earlier, they too would have been making their way towards their schools. This year, however, they were to spend their day on household chores, after their parents left for work. “Shale bittubitvi [we have quit school],” said one of the girls, Nandini, when I spoke to them soon after, at one of their houses. The four friends, who belong to the Banjara community, designated as a Scheduled Caste in Karnataka, are among the millions of children in the country whose school lives have been upended by the pandemic. In March 2020, schools across the country were shut in response to the spread of Covid-19. Classes were moved online, but this measure excluded millions of children who did not have access to digital devices and internet connections. When schools gradually reopened, many children, particularly those who already faced obstacles to their education, did not return. There are varying estimates of how many children have been affected, and to what degree. Please click here to read more.
