2020 has been a year like no other. The COVID-19 pandemic has created the most severe disruption to global education systems in history, forcing more than 1.6 billion students in over 190 countries out of school at the peak of the crisis.

The pandemic has brought to light already-existing challenges to education that have not been adequately addressed since too long. It has highlighted alarming inequalities that must be tackled urgently in order to guarantee everyone’s right to education. A survey was conducted by the Seva Sahayog Foundation to assess the academic loss of the students. The findings of this survey presented the urgent need of remedial action to mitigate the loss caused by the pandemic.
