Some are questioning if the acceptance of online learning would continue post-pandemic

With this abrupt move away from the classroom in many areas of the world, some are questioning if the acceptance of online learning would continue post-pandemic, and how such a shift might influence the global education industry.

Several parents voiced their frustration at not equipping their children with smartphones, which have become a necessary item of ownership. Students in Nagpur’s Danteshwari Nagar slum are struggling from the impact of technical inaccessibility, which has denied them the ability to attend online lessons amid the COVID-19 epidemic and its following limitations.

Several parents voiced their frustration at not equipping their children with smartphones, which have become a necessary item of ownership. “Since schools have been shuttered, pupils’ lives have been significantly impacted.”

We are unable to keep an eye on our children since we are laborers. We were told that kids were studying when they went to school. “We don’t hold the resources to give them with internet-enabled telephones,” a parent explained. Many other parents who reside in these slums expressed the same anguish. “We cannot afford cellphones,” Nand Kumar Verma stated. We only have one phone, which we must bring to work with us. We don’t make enough money to get them a smartphone.

For our children, studying in schools is a more convenient alternative. People have become more complicated as a result of online education. We are day laborers and cannot afford to seek work. Rajini Verma, his wife, expressed concern that her children might wind up as laborers like them. “Some of their instructors come in and convince us that we should provide youngsters with cell phones.”

This is not practical since our contractor phones us during the day to offer us work, and we need to have it with us. We are concerned about how they will gain admittance to higher education if they are not studying. “We’re afraid they’ll end up as laborers like us,” she added. Students living in the slums are fully aware of the problem. According to Laxmi Verma, she has four brothers and sisters. “It’s tough for all of us to study with a single phone.” Internet packs are also expensive, and there are occasionally network problems.
