Impact of COVID-19 on schooling

The past couple of years has been tough due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic when students and teachers had no other option except for online classes. The pandemic impacted the education system with schools forced to shut down during the lockdown period, resulting in the transition of students and teachers to online teaching-learning. In India, over 250 million students were affected by school closures at the onset of lockdown. However, now offline schooling has begun and students are once again able to attend classes in schools.
