Back To School Tweet Sheet
Demand answers around girls' education from your decision makers.
As the pandemic forced school closures, children around the world struggled to cope with their rapidly changing classrooms. In India, the lack of planning around continuing education during the lockdown and reintegrating students into the education system, has already begun to impact students across the country. This lack of planning has had a particularly negative impact on girls, especially those from marginalised communities who face daily challenges in accessing education. With reports of deepening poverty, increased burden of domestic work and rising cases of child marriage, gender-based violence, trafficking, millions of girls won’t be returning to school.
In light of the unique challenges girls have been facing during COVID19, the Centre for Budget and Policy Studies (CBPS) led a rapid assessment study for Champions for Girls Education in India. The study presents a real time assessment of the state of education for girls in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Assam through which a picture of the state of affairs in the country can be imagined.
Add your voice to the movement to demand concrete action and accountability from decision-makers to ensure access to quality education for girls doesn’t suffer due to COVID19. Tweet your support and ask critical questions by using the tweets below:
