Study hours of primary and secondary-level students have declined by 80 percent since educational institutions were closed amid Covid-19 pandemic, according to a study by the Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD). “There has been a significant reduction in students’ total study time — from 10 hours to merely 2 hours a day. This is alarming,” the BIGD said in its report published at a webinar on Thursday. Research Interns at the BIGD surveyed over 5,000 students from urban slums and rural regions across the country.
