Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday said collective efforts of the Education department, parents, teaching community and society have helped to ensure that the education process of the State continued unhindered during the time of COVID-19 pandemic.
He has made the remark in the wake of a recent India Case Study on the effects of COVID-19 on education, conducted by UNICEF, which lavished praise on the State.
In a series of tweets, the Chief Minister quoted some excerpts from the study report, which mentioned the State’s achievement. “Kerala is an exception: about 70 per cent of parents of both younger & adolescent students believe that overall learning progress is the same or better than it would be in school,” he tweeted, quoting the UNICEF survey.
