National Achievement Survey (NAS), 2021
The NAS 2021 revealed that a deep learning crisis has set in during the Covid pandemic, with a largescale Central Government survey capturing a fall of up to nine percentage points between 2017 and 2021 in the performance of students in subjects ranging from maths to social sciences.
Academic performances in schools across the country have slipped below levels recorded in 2017, except in Punjab and Rajasthan, according to National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2021, which has captured a widening of learning gaps caused by disruptions triggered by the pandemic.
While Punjab fared well in these reports, Delhi, ironically, failed to perform well. State-wise reports of NAS 2021 are available at indianexpress.com/education.
