Summary:
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted learning for over 1.5 billion children globally, with marginalized students facing a heightened risk due to the digital divide. In India alone, 320 million learners are adversely affected, unable to shift rapidly to e-learning, leading to potential dropouts and exposure to social evils. Ladli Foundation, in collaboration with BYJU's e-learning app, initiates a project to provide free access to secondary education for one lakh marginalized students, particularly focusing on families with three or more children, with an emphasis on girl children.
Challenges:
The digital divide exacerbates existing inequalities, hindering marginalized students' access to education. Socioeconomic factors intersect with poverty, gender, ethnicity, age, and disability, resulting in discrimination and exclusion from online learning opportunities.
