In the last two years our notion of the classroom has changed. There has been a considerable loss of teaching and learning time and there is likely to be a long term impact on learners’ educational outcomes. However, with some schools opening up and others adopting various models of online or hybrid teaching, it is critical for educators to build and gauge their readiness to adapt to physical classrooms again. Moving away from the current text-based learning to an activity-based curriculum can be a first step.

Are children getting enough time to indulge in free play? Children have an innate urge to do things on their own without any adult coaching or guiding them.

Educators must try and facilitate an environment where children are able to practice free play.
