The year 2020 was a completely unprecedented one, with the Covid-19 pandemic adversely impacting all sectors. The education sector, undoubtedly, faced the most number of challenges and adversities owing to school closures and the sudden shift that was required to the digital mode of learning.
Now, in 2021, various states across India have made announced the reopening of schools with adherence to Covid-19 protocols. So how will schools make up for the lost year with respect to the learning loss that has occurred, and how will they address the mental health of the students and staff after a tough year has passed?
