New Delhi: 37% girls from poor families uncertain about returning to school
NEW DELHI: About 37% of girls from poor households are uncertain about whether they would be able to return to school after the pandemic, according to a study which also found that as compared to 37% of boys, only 26% girls in such families have access to mobiles and internet to attend online classes.
While 52% of the households surveyed had a TV set at home, only 11% of the children accessed educational programmes on TV, says the study conducted in June among 3,176 families whose children attend government schools across the five states— Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, Telangana and Delhi. The study found that about 70% of the families didn’t have enough food, which puts studies, especially education of girls at a high risk.
