#WeThePeople | "I think governments are being overcautious": Vrinda Swarup, Former Education Secretary, Government of India, on the continuous closure of schools

Kids have been home for 21 months and counting. Where else in the world have kids been deprived of a proper education for so long? @cmohry @EduMinOfIndia @CPCB_OFFICIAL @HTGurgaon @TOIGurgaon @ndtv @BBCIndia @DC_Gurugram @CNNnews18 @IndianExpress @the_hindu #BacktoSchool

I have written to Commission for Air Quality Management requesting immediate opening of schools as this policy achieves nothing but learning loss, & curbs on social & emotional growth of the children. Any justification of continued school closure is without evidence or rationale

Indian children are getting back to school after closures that have lasted longer than in most other countries. The rate of vaccination has been ramped up but teachers must be accorded priority to ensure prolonged shutdowns do not recur.

"The sector garnering the most interest among managers is financials. While the sector’s shares have risen, they have lagged behind the broader market and there's room for further gains, if the government can deliver on reforms"

One reason for the severe restrictions: #India has just 0.7 hospital beds per 1,000 people, one of the lowest among lower-middle and low-income countries in the Asian-Pacific region. https://t.co/SafHOqjF3y @shumitasd @barronsonline @reshmakapadia #emergingmarkets
