Only 25 pc children accessed education during school closure in Delhi: Survey

New Delhi, Nov 24 (UNI) Only 25 per cent of enrolled school-aged children accessed education during school closures in Delhi, despite high levels of internet connectivity, a survey data has showed.
According to a survey conducted by policy think tanks LIRNEasia and ICRIER, 84 per cent of households in Delhi have an internet connection, 22 points higher than the national average.
"The high level of household connectivity in Delhi helped it to better adapt in certain aspects during the Covid-19 induced lockdowns, but it did not translate to gains in education," a statement said, quoting the survey findings, which were released to the media on Wednesday.
