The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions to daily life and children are feeling these changes deeply.. There has been significant discussion around the impact of the pandemic on the mental health of various segments of the population. However, students, which include younger school-going children, students in adolescence, and those pursuing higher education, have been the worst hit with stress and anxiety disorders, in addition to depression, affecting them in increasing numbers. There is an elevated risk of toxic stress as students cope with lack of physical interaction, limited extracurricular activities, confinement and the continued pressure of doing well at school.
According to UNESCO, for over 30 weeks between 2020 and 2021, schools were not functional globally. In India, over 32 crore school learners were impacted by October 2020, including over 16.7 crores secondary and higher education learners. Globally, at least 463 million children worldwide were unable to access remote learning during the pandemic.
