Critical article by @karthik_econ - school systems need to open while continuing to maintain focus on home learning efforts currently underway.
The cost of 16 months of school closures in India are likely to be immense and long-lasting. We now know enough about COVID-19 to be able to open schools while minimizing risks. Doing so should be one of our top priorities - my @htTweets column at:

Great to have @ImRaina on board with the @learning_rocket partnership with @UPGovt! Critical that national role models create awareness and aspiration about the importance of parent-teacher partnerships for early education. @CSF_India @ncore_in @EduMinOfIndia
Delighted to share that @grfCare is to be a part of #MissionPrerna led by @UPGovt aimed at providing better education to children with the help of parents and teachers. Watch the teaser & stay tuned to know more.. #MissionPrerna #epathshala #FoundationalLearning #MainHoonTeacher

Contrast this to the US (though I am generally not one to elevate another country at the expense of India) - there is a culture of saluting public servants for their service. Hope that India builds something similar. (4/4)

At the same time, I and other private sector workers have had the privilege of "working from home". We earn much more money and have the flexibility to step back in such situations. (3/4)

During the last few months, I've witnessed so many family members and friends in the public sector (politicians, hospitals, police, bureacracy, banks) go unflinchingly in the line of fire every single day and deal with the consequences of getting COVID. (2/4)

Sad to see the lack of recognition to public servants in India for their efforts and sacrifices in the battle against COVID. Our society's default is to disparage the public sector (politicians and govt. employees) and lionize the private sector. (1/4)
