Status Report: Government and Private Schools During COVID-19

27 crore children in India have been affected by the closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the intention of understanding impact of the pandemic on access to education, modes of education delivery and access to entitlements in both government and private schools, Oxfam India carried out a rapid assessment that surveyed close to 1200 parents and 500 teachers across Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh.

At a time when governments, civil society members, and media are discussing school reopening, education delivery, digital divide, and student safety, the survey offers valuable insights from five states on school education.
