Distance learning has deepened inequality in education, brought down the level of knowledge in children and is threatening to increase the number of children dropping out of school. This has happened despite the efforts and the rapid adaptation by teachers, indicates an e-learning analysis by the Ministry of Education.
One-third of children have not been devoting enough time to study. Non-attendance is up by 70%.
38% of children do not have access to electronic devices, only 43,5% of the children in big cities and 12.5% of the children in villages have access to the internet.
According to 40% of the school teachers and 60% of the headmasters distance learning has brought down the level of knowledge in children. That is why during the new school year the Ministry will insist on in-person attendance.
