Report Release: Life in the Time of COVID – 19

With great pleasure, we as a part of Champions For Girls’ Education would like to invite you today to the release of the report “Life in the time of Covid-19 : Mapping the impact of Covid-19 on the lives of school going children especially girls in India” (hosted and organized by RTE Forum) on 26th November from 3:30 pm to 6 pm.

The study was conducted by Centre For Budget and Policy Studies on behalf of Champions for Girls’ Education, across 3176 households across 5 states in India – Assam (5 Districts), Bihar (8 Districts), Uttar Pradesh-UP (11 Districts) and Telangana (4 Districts), and Delhi (1 District) in order to understand:

• The impact of Covid-19 on the livelihoods and earnings of families living on the margins, and its relationship with the education of children.
• The impact of school closures and lockdown on girls’ education, including the changes in the social and familial environment that could impact enrolment and retention of girls in schools.
• The landscape of the institutional and policy interventions with potential or intent to mitigate the adverse impact of Covid-19 on girls’ education.

The event will begin with a presentation on the key findings of the study, followed by the release of the Study and panel discussions.

The poster for the event can be viewed here.

Please join us in large numbers and spread the word.
