The Covid-19 pandemic has dealt a serious blow to our education sector. After around two years of closure, educational institutions in the country are unlikely to reopen anytime soon due to a recent upward trend in daily coronavirus infection rate.
Most of the students have been facing multidimensional problems for a long closure of their educational institutions. A large number of students are forgetting their studies. The tendency of getting promoted to the next class without any assessment is making them addicts to gadgets. And many of these teenagers have been becoming criminals both in cities and villages. The number of child marriages is on the rise. And, many boys are quitting education to shoulder some of their parents' burden.
In this situation, we must reopen our educational institutions before it is too late. As we could not organise virtual learning for our students in an effective way, we now have to vaccinate our students and resume in-person classes and exams immediately so that our students' precious academic years are no longer lost to the Covid-19 pandemic.
