The results abate the continued apprehensions of parents regarding learning efficacy in online classrooms – a new normal that was observed across India following school closures since March 2020, it said on Friday. The middle and end of the year assessment for the academic year 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 also indicated that online schooling has maintained the language fluency and numeracy similar to offline mode, it said.
