Abstract

The Indian education system is immature in both urban and rural areas. Midday meal is a program organized to attract students to education. Under these circumstances, the national blockade imposed by the government on March 25, 2020 to fight COVID-19 has seriously impacted the education system. India has the second largest school system in the world after China. According to UNESCO, 63 million teachers have been affected in 165 countries. A total of 1.3 billion learners worldwide are unable to attend schools and universities, affecting approximately 320 million learners in India alone. This has moved the traditional education system to an education technology model where education and evaluation are done online. Both positive and negative impacts of COVID-19 on the Indian education system have been observed. This paper aims to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the Indian education system, focusing on education during online lessons and evaluation of students taking online lessons from home in this pandemic.
