The participating teachers and students also expressed that online emotional support and group engagements by the counsellors and social workers helped kids express themselves more and be participative in online learning.
The teachers said that the involvement of parents became important in school education because only they have regular access to children and can directly engage with them during this situation.
The students who participated in the study stated that they missed many school activities like meeting classmates, interacting with other students, school celebrations, and friendships.
As per the survey, some participants also said that they are overloaded with online academic exercises. Teachers also shared their challenges of online class schedules and fulfilling their responsibilities remotely.
