Parental concerns with online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020
In 2020, 48 percent of respondents to a survey of parents in India were concerned with their children developing health issues due to increased screen-time in the wake of the shift to online learning during the coronavirus pandemic. Similarly, parents were concerned about technical challenges, less face-to-face learning with teachers leading to uncertainty and the absence from school or friends affecting the child's mental well being. Less than ten percent of parents stated that they have no concerns about their child learning online.
