Schools and colleges in the state, which reopened in November for the first time since the pandemic was allowed to run rampage, have been fully closed once again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s unfortunate that the educational institutions have taken 20 months to open. This effort of reopening institutions should have been made immediately after the second wave. After all, the new surge has not started from educational institutions,&amp;rdquo; said Sayoni Choudhuri Patra, assistant professor at Loreto College, University of Calcutta.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Open for less than 2 months, schools and colleges have been closed down again whereas other, more immediately profitable activities stand only partly curbed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The locking down of schools due to a mismanaged pandemic and the subsequent system of online education has stripped many young Indians of their access to in-person education.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Hardest hit are the students whose parents are not rich, and children with disabilities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A survey conducted in the first pandemic year by Swabhiman, a cross-disability organisation, showed a 43% increase in the likelihood of students with special needs being forced to leave school.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Urmi Roy, an East Kolkata resident with bipolar disorder, teaches and studies at a special school.

Virtually Deprived: ‘Online Learning in India is a Sham’ -Medha Ghosh

-TheCitizen.in ‘They take our attendance and dismiss us’ KOLKATA: Joining many other states, the West Bengal government recently announced the imposition of another partial lockdown till January 15. Schools and colleges in the state, which reopened in November for the first time since the pandemic was allowed to run rampage, have been fully closed once again. “It’s unfortunate that the educational institutions have taken 20 months to open. This effort of reopening institutions should have been made immediately after the second wave. After all, the new surge has not started from educational institutions,” said Sayoni Choudhuri Patra, assistant professor at Loreto College, University of Calcutta. Open for less than 2 months, schools and colleges have been closed down again whereas other, more immediately profitable activities stand only partly curbed. The locking down of schools due to a mismanaged pandemic and the subsequent system of online education has stripped many young Indians of their access to in-person education. Hardest hit are the students whose parents are not rich, and children with disabilities. A survey conducted in the first pandemic year by Swabhiman, a cross-disability organisation, showed a 43% increase in the likelihood of students with special needs being forced to leave school. Urmi Roy, an East Kolkata resident with bipolar disorder, teaches and studies at a special school. She says it’s upsetting that schools have been closed again, adding that “Teaching has increased my own enthusiasm towards learning. I want to learn more.” Please click here to read more.
