Ground Zero

Sunayana from Makkala Jagriti says, “The shift we see in the (education) department is significant. We certainly see more awareness of social-emotional learning. Given the present scenario, we anticipate that teachers will have to focus on this - such as reflecting on emotions and facing boredom etc. - for a large part, after the schools reopen.”

The COVID-19 situation has allowed educators to test their social-emotional learning curriculum for the online mode and understand its limitations. For now, it does not seem like digital media can be depended upon for delivering a curriculum that largely benefits from human interaction. But perhaps, after schools reopen, it could become an important tool to help children reintegrate.
