ABSTRACT
Education is the building block of any nation; it builds skills, habits, knowledge, and mind of the child. Any nation cannot afford the discontinuation of its education system. Health is also a major concern for any nation and keeping its countrymen healthy is the responsibility of the nation’s government. The outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has been declared by WHO a
public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). In this paper, we are discussing
covid-19 and its impact on school education in the Indian context, and also the impact is
analyzed from a gender perspective. It is an empirical paper where a literature review is done to
understand the concept of Indian schools in the context of online education, the importance of
education, and COVID 19 impact on education from the perspective of parents, teachers, and
students. For this purpose, a total of 100 respondents were selected from public and private
sector schools in Udaipur. Data collection is done using structured questionnaires and analysis
is performed with the help of group statistics and independent sample test. Results of the study
disclosed that online classes are the best viable solution in situations like a pandemic and the
tool is embraced by both the gender stakeholders equally. However, a few critical aspects that
need a solution in this context are identified as trained and skilled teachers.
