Digital learning platforms are changing the way India teaches and learns in school education. Despite this huge push, the implementation of digital learning is not uniform across all educational boards both in terms of extent and effectiveness. Digital Learning in Schools: A Comparative Study in Nagpur City (CBSE and State Board Schools) Evaluate how ready infrastructure is, how teachers are being trained, whether or not digital content is available, whether the students are engaged and how much learning happens. We surveyed educators and students, interviewed school administrators, and conducted classroom observations to engage in a mixed-methods analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data. Evidence suggests that CBSE schools have a more formalized and better-resourced approach to digital learning, attributed to centralized guidelines and technology access, while State Board schools grapple with budget limitations, sporadic implementation, and inadequate teacher training. However, both systems are hopeful for the future of digital education. The study identifies key gaps and offers actionable recommendations for policymakers and educators, including best practices to further equitable and effective delivery of digital learning across all types of schools. This work complements the larger debate on educational equity and technology-led academic innovation in the Indian schooling system.
