In the times of corona, one of the most impacted sectors is the Education sector. The education of the future generation is being affected severely and the authorities are trying to overcome this issue to some extent by making the education digital. But digital education has some pros as well as cons since not all students have the access to education especially for the students who couldn't afford the means or resources to access the digital education.
It is found that poor class families are facing problem regarding the online classes especially the children. Because they are not able to afford the internet charges and devices as well. Mostly, these families have only one mobile phone in a home to study which makes it quite hard for adolescents to manage their study work.
One of the homemakers, namely Rinku Devi, is anxious about her three children who are studying in Class IX, X and XII in a Government School. She wants to buy a new mobile phone for them but she is not able to do that. She also said that her juveniles are not able to attend classes because the timing of her children falls at the same time.
Moreover, she also said, "I have not been going to my work because of the pandemic but soon I will join and then I will buy a new phone for them. However, my earning is only about Rs 6000 per month. My husband is not doing work at all as he is a tailor".
It is reported that there is a huge demand for second-hand phones nowadays because somehow it has become a necessity for the parents to provide education digitally to their kids.
