| Title | Rural Children'S Limited Access To Education In Kyrgyzstan During Covid-19 Lockdown |
| Summary | Last year, the introduction of distant learning in Kyrgyzstan schools had resulted in a considerable increase in psychological distress and a poor atmosphere in many families, particularly those vulnerable in socioeconomic terms. The reason for this was many factors, ranging from technical problems associated with online education, professional unpreparedness of teachers, and ending with the psychological perception of this learning mode by parents and children. Remote learning has provided opportunities for some children that were not available prior to the lockdown restrictions, while others have been effectively excluded from full participation due to a lack of IT equipment or a reliable internet connection required for distance learning. The local government did not take serious and significant measures and actions to improve this situation in rural areas. In this regard, in my capstone project, I will touch upon the component of violating children's rights in unequal access to education and abusive treatment of children in the time of COVID-19. Consequently, my research question in this work is: has the Kyrgyz government delivered its commitments to providing equal access to education for rural children during the lockdown? The practical component of my paper includes conducting the interviews with the stakeholders (parents, children, teachers, representatives of NGOs in the education sector and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic). My research work is based on the qualitative analysis of the available relevant literature, reports of international organizations, conducted interviews with stakeholders and official statistical data of the national committee. |
