Crack (Research on conditions of school in the regions)

Evaluating state of schools in Kyrgyzstan with data

With the pandemic and subsequent transfer to online education, a lot of public attention was on the insufficient preparedness of children in rural areas for studying at home, taking into account the lack of computers and smartphones, access to the internet, and household. However, even the schools don’t provide the necessary conditions for proper education which is important now, with children getting back to schools. The project aims to collect all the datasets on this topic, analyze them and produce data-driven stories in different formats and a white paper, to be presented to different audiences including parents and teachers in rural areas, policymakers, and researchers. The media will be published in partnership with local newsrooms.
