Pune: The National Independent Schools Association (NISA) has launched a national-level survey to assess learning loss among school students due to the school closure in view of the COVID-19 pandemic for close to two years.
The survey has taken into account the students of third, fifth and eighth grades during the lockdown period.
To start with, the working president of the Independent English School Association in Maharashtra, Rajendra Singh said that he has circulated the survey among member schools in Pune and other parts of Maharashtra.
The Surveyor designed a number of diagnostic tests for both the students and teachers across urban, semi-urban and rural schools. This is aimed at assessing their foundational abilities. This is followed by the common questionnaire.
“We are in the process of finalizing data and findings. With this data, we would be able to design a proper bridge course to address the learning gaps and also suggest pedagogy changes needed in the classroom,” Singh was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.
