'description' => '<p style="text-align:justify">Online teaching was perhaps the most preferred mode <em>(of the policymakers) </em>for imparting education to school children in the last two years when schools faced closures thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was promoted by both the Central and State Governments when mobility almost came to a standstill <em>(or got restricted in comparison to normal times) </em>during the last two years. However, various studies <em>(a list of those studies is provided in the references section; also see the <a href="https://im4change.org/hunger-hdi/education-50.html?pgno=2#india-needs-to-learn-a-case-for-keeping-schools-open-released-in-january-2022">Education section</a> of <a href="http://im4change.org">im4change.org</a>)</em> indicate that unlike what was expected, digital education failed to reach all students <em>(from diverse castes, classes, regions, gender, and communities)</em>. The pre-existing digital gap due to socio-economic differences became more stark during the period of school closures. As a result, among other things, parents noticed severe learning losses among their wards. Reading and writing skills along with mathematical abilities of the school children were negatively affected. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Although digital learning was promoted and sustained during most part of the last two years by schools, it would be interesting to know whether schools in our country had sufficient information technology (IT) infrastructure prior to 2020-21 i.e., the year when the COVID-19 pandemic hit us. The availability of various IT equipment determines to a large extent whether students are trained <em>(at schools)</em> enough to use them without guidance at homes for the purpose of online learning. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Many teachers complained that they had to use their own resources to purchase IT devices and get data packages because the schools lacked sufficient IT-infrastructure. However, the schools neither compensated those teachers nor provided adequate IT-infrastructure in the school premises in 2020-21. Although online learning was made almost mandatory in perhaps all types of schools <em>(Government/ Government Aided/ Private Unaided/ Others)</em>, not much was done to equip all schools with adequate IT-infrastructure.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">By looking at the data provided by the Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+), it can be said that the Private Unaided Schools and Government Aided Schools were better endowed in terms of IT-infrastructure in comparison to the Government Schools. Despite that, many parents pulled out their children from the Private Unaided Recognized Schools <em>(charging higher fees),</em> and got them admitted in the Government Schools <em>(who charge lower fees)</em>. The enrolment of students in the Government Schools <em>(Total -- Pre-primary to 12) </em>increased from <a href="/upload/files/Enrolment%20Government%20Schools%202019-20.png">13,09,31,634</a> to <a href="/upload/files/Enrolment%20Government%20Schools%202020-21.png">13,49,04,560</a> between 2019-20 and 2020-21, whereas the enrolment of students in Private Unaided Recognized Schools <em>(Total -- Pre-primary to 12)</em> went down from <a href="/upload/files/Enrolment%20Private%20Unaided%20Schools%202019-20.png">9,82,09,302</a> to <a href="/upload/files/Enrolment%20Private%20Unaided%20Schools%202020-21.png">9,51,57,082</a> between 2019-20 and 2020-21. The enrolment of students in the Government Aided Schools <em>(Total -- Pre-primary to 12)</em> also fell from <a href="/upload/files/Enrolment%20Government%20Aided%20Schools%202019-20.png">2,74,98,530</a> in 2019-20 to <a href="/upload/files/Enrolment%20Government%20Aided%20Schools%202020-21.png">2,68,45,527</a> in 2020-21. </p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><strong>Schools with computer facility</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Data available from the Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+) shows that nearly 38.54 percent of schools had access to computer facilities in 2019-20 in comparison to 41.25 percent in 2020-21. Although almost 32.54 percent of Government Schools had access to computer facilities in 2020-21, the related figure for Private Unaided Schools was higher i.e., 64.04 percent. However, almost 30.03 percent of Government Schools had access to computer facilities in comparison to 59.88 percent of Private Unaided Schools in 2019-20. Although around 62.97 percent of Government Aided Schools had access to computer facilities in 2019-20, it decreased to 61.49 percent in 2020-21.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><strong>Schools with functional computer facility</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Schools having computer facilities is not enough if the IT devices do not function properly. From the UDISE+ reports one gets that the percentage of all schools having functional computer facilities increased from 37.13 percent to 39.88 percent between 2019-20 and 2020-21 i.e., by just 2.75 percentage points. In other words, the proportion of schools with dysfunctional computer facilities remained around 1.4 percent in 2019-20 as well as 2020-21. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify">In 2020-21, the proportion of Government Schools with functional computer facilities <em>(i.e., 31.11 percent)</em> was almost half of the proportion of functional computer facilities in Private Unaided Schools <em>(i.e., 62.7 percent)</em>. The same situation existed in 2019-20. The proportion of Government Schools with functional computer facilities was 28.55 percent whereas the proportion of functional computer facilities in Private Unaided Schools was 58.48 percent. Although around 61.84 percent of Government Aided Schools had functional computer facilities in 2019-20, it reduced to 60.44 percent in 2020-21.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><strong>Schools with internet facility</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Despite having functional computer facilities, teachers may not be able to impart digital education to school children from the premises of the schools if there is no internet connection. The UDISE+ data indicates that around one-fifth of all schools had internet facilities <em>(i.e., 22.28 percent) </em>in 2019-20, which grew marginally to 24.51 percent in 2020-21 i.e., by 2.23 percentage points. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify">In 2019-20, the proportion of Government Schools with internet facility was 11.58 percent whereas the proportion of Private Unaided Schools having the internet facility was almost 50.16 percent. In 2020-21, the proportion of Government Schools with internet facility was 13.64 percent whereas the proportion of Private Unaided Schools having the internet facility was about 52.96 percent. Although 42.18 percent of Government Aided Schools had internet facilities in 2019-20, it went up marginally to 43.81 percent in 2020-21.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><strong>Warning about the UDISE+ data</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The <a href="https://im4change.org/upload/files/Udise%2B%202020-21.pdf">UDISE+ 2020-21 report</a> is based on voluntary uploading of data by the schools having active UDISE+ codes in a reference year, with 30th September as the reference date, using specially designed data collection formats (DCF). The UDISE+ code of a school is allotted by the State/ UT Government where the school is located. The responsibility for the accuracy of the data filled in the DCFs rests with the concerned Nodal Officers, namely Principal/ Vice-Principal/ Head Master/ Head Teacher/ Senior most teacher at the school level, Cluster Resource Officer at the cluster level, Block Education Officer for the block level, District Education Officer at the district level and the SPD of Samagra Shiksha at the State level. The Ministry of Education, therefore, assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the data and indicators reported in the document. The inclusion of name of a school in any of the lists in the portal <a href="http://udiseplus.gov.in">http://udiseplus.gov.in</a> or any of the reports generated in the portal does not confer the status of recognition to the school by the Ministry of Education, Government of India.
