The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown caused our daily lives to come to a standstill. Education institutes all over the world are also closed for an indefinite period. While the world embraces online education more than ever, JAAGO is determined to educate children who do not have the privilege of internet or mobile learning.
At the beginning of the pandemic lockdown, around March, JAAGO Foundation helped the families of our children, who did not even have food on their table, through our COVID-19 Relief initiative. However, within a couple of months, we realized that if we were not able to continue educating our children, it would set them back tremendously academically. Given the background of our JAAGO students, a basic internet connection is considered a luxury, let alone a smartphone or tablet. As we continue maintaining the government’s decision on keeping schools closed, we cannot employ the same means of providing education to our children as the rest of the world. Within two months, JAAGO initiated Telephone Education to ensure the continuation of studies of the children during this crisis.
