Covid-19 Blessed Education Digital and Affordable

As of March 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic has caused more than 1.6 billion children and youth out of school in 161 countries. It is close to 80% of the world’s enrolled students. We were already facing a global crisis, as many students were in school, but were not learn the basic skills necessary for life. Now some countries will be able to enhance the digital skills of their teachers. Radio and TV stations will recognize their important role in supporting national education goals – and hopefully, understand their immense social responsibility to improve the quality of their programming. Parents will be more involved in their children’s education process, and education ministries will also have a very clear understanding of the challenges (connectivity, hardware, integration of digital devices in the curriculum, teacher readiness) that enable them to use technology effectively and act on it. All these can strengthen the future education system in a country. Because the mission of all education systems is the same, how to overcome the learning crisis that we were already facing and are responding to the epidemic we all face today.

All children have equal opportunities for quality education, so today’s the challenge is to reduce the negative impact of this epidemic on learning and schooling as much as possible and speedily improves the direction of education. As education systems grapple with this crisis, they should also think about how they can become stronger with a renewed understanding of the responsibility and understanding of the need to close gaps in opportunities.

It is easy to break our hopes on the negative side effects of any event, especially when we as a community struggling with a global epidemic. We are going to keep it alive and when we do it is a different world that is waiting for us. The epidemic posed a threat to the entire educated system. Schools, universities and colleges have been closed. Yes, it is sad but have you seen the bright side yet? Educational institutions have found a way to overcome this very challenging series of events. Classes have resumed, “Thanks to technology”.

New classes have become the new norm for educational institutions and it has also come with some benefits. Institutions can now save on infrastructure costs and, as a result, students will have to bear the brunt of the costs, making it more affordable and  in addition, parents will have first-hand knowledge of how classes are taught and can directly understand how their child believes the concepts. As the online education system grows, we can expect increased access to and access to education within every segment of society. Each coin is of two faces. Good comes with bad, and these are some predictions that I think will stick and become the norm. Countries everywhere are still fighting this epidemic, and we are sure that we are going to overcome it.

We are a race of survivors, and we are going to win it too. We know that the fight is tough and long. But we look forward and through these difficult times we focus on the bright side for all these are nothing else. Keep the social distance physically but stay socially connected. Please take care of your family and be healthy and safe.
