Summary

The pandemic contributed to schools being closed and children learning virtually from home. The children were able to learn academic knowledge but lacked in social emotional skills. With the easing of regulations post pandemic, children are coming back to schools; however, their social emotional skills are not at a level where the students interact with respect. Schools are seeing greater behavioral problems and more mental health issues post pandemic and the role of the social worker is more important. This is even greater in rural communities where grandparents are primary caretakers in the family. This necessitates inter-generational interventions to assist both academic performance and social emotional development. \
