The Rapid Assessment survey assessed remote learning access to ICT-based learning tools and the learning environment at home during school closures across India due to COVID-19 with students from urban and rural government schools in 4 states.
This study, undertaken by Outline India and the Asian Development Bank helped to understand the challenges related to access to ICT-based learning tools (e.g., electricity supply, adequate internet access, availability of computers and mobile phones) and learning environment at home (e.g. parental support, access to dedicated space and equipment). The findings of the study also helped inform policymakers and school officials in developing effective online/remote learning modalities for future disruptions in school education as well as in considering potential learning interventions with ICT applications.
