States say that they want to make their online education system, but not all children have the means to connect with it. According to the report, this is the situation when a large number of parents have bought smartphones for their children.
According to the report, out of the students enrolled in 2019, only 36 percent of children and their families had smartphones, which has now increased to around 61 percent.
