Arfa Khanum Sherwani of The Wire speaks at children, teachers and other staff members of a school in Unnao.

After the coronavirus pandemic, online education became the norm for school children. However, most children were not able to access these classes in the school of Ajgain village in Uttar Pradesh’s Unnao district. It is just 47 km from the capital of Uttar Pradesh where no child has a mobile phone and internet. The children of this village have almost forgotten everything they had learnt in the last one-and-a-half years. Parvati, who makes a mid-day meal for the school, has not got her salary since June last year. Arfa Khanum Sherwani of The Wire went to this school and spoke to the children, teachers and other staff members.
