Annual Status of Education Report 2020 https://img.asercentre.org/docs/ASER%202020/ASER%202020%20REPORT/aser2020nationalppt.pdf In pre-COVID times, typically the primary “mode” of learning was centred on teachers and students with teaching-learning happening in school. Every one came to school daily, sat in classrooms, used materials such as textbooks & worksheets. In the period of school closure, many more methods, materials and modes have been tried. Parents, siblings and others in the community have perhaps become more involved in children’s learning.Moving forward all of these efforts need to be effectively integrated to help children to learn well.
