Actor Namit Das, who has been garnering praises for essaying the baddie in Aarya<\/em> and Mafia<\/em>, puts forth a big question that has no ‘solution for all’ as yet. On World Humanitarian Day, he raises the concern of education for the poor while we’re coping with the current COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\n The Wake Up Sid<\/em> actor has been looking after all the financial requirements of his driver and house help. He informs that the post-lockdown phase has been stressful for them as the members of their families lost other sources of income. Das remarks that the economic threat has posed a challenge of education among the haves-not of our society.<\/p>\n He says, \u201cVirtual learning has not boded well for many who are on the have-not spectrum. The fees for my driver’s children could not be paid because their school is half-open and half-closed. On this account, they left for Uttar Pradesh and they are being informally tutored by a teacher in the inland.\u201d<\/p>\n Namit adds, \u201cI worry about the quality of education that’s being imparted across inland areas. A generation of kids will have to lose a year and 2020 might become a gap year that was not intended for many. Not having a smartphone and a tablet means no education – I find that really concerning. I’m afraid that the virus might not kill us, but perhaps poverty will if we don’t support each other.\u201d<\/p>\n Urging people to come forward to help those in need, he says, \u201cIf you are blessed with privileges you should try to do your bit to reduce suffering. While I have great respect for people who donate generously to causes, I think it’s important to reach out to those who are in your vicinity.\u201d<\/p>\n ALSO READ:\u00a0Namit Das to debut as music composer with Mira Nair\u2019s show, A Suitable Boy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Namit](\"https:\/\/media2.bollywoodhungama.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-08-25-at-1.22.26-PM.jpeg\")
