PIX: Learning in the times of COVID-19

While most of us are grappling with the new reality inflicted by the pandemic, children seem to be the most affected.

The pandemic has forced children to access education away from a well set up classroom environment to confined or isolated spaces with little or restricted access.

When schools reopened in certain parts of India and the world, students have been asked top wear masks and asked to practice social distancing (try telling that to kids!).

In the past year, the relationship between teachers and students has undergone huge changes too.

These images clicked from around the world show how teachers interact with students in the new normal.
