effectsof covid_19 on education​

Answer 1

COViD 19 has petrified and horrifies the whole world. Now if we talk about education particularly it has brought a reform in it. CoVID 19 has brought the hitherto peripheral issue of Online Education into the mainstream topics. Now the mode of education in almost countries has been changed to online platforms only for a particular time. Long written registers are now replaced by computer files. Now a student doesn't need to step out of his room, he/she just need to have the required digital accessories to access the classes. Students have learnt a lot besides academical studies, from foreign courses to indigenous courses, from professional to vocational courses. Nevertheless, COVID 19 has opened our eyes to look into the scope of education after post recovery of it.

Answer 2

The spread of COVID-19 has sent shockwaves across
the globe. The public health crisis, unprecedented in our lifetimes, has caused severe human suffering and loss
of life. The exponential rise in infected patients and the dramatic consequences of serious cases of the disease
have overwhelmed hospitals and health professionals and
put significant strain on the health sector. As governments grappled with the spread of the disease by closing down entire economic sectors and imposing widespread restrictions on mobility, the sanitary crisis evolved into a major economic crisis which is expected to burden societies for years to come. According to the OECD’s latest Economic Outlook, even the most optimistic scenarios predict a brutal recession. Even if a second wave of infections is avoided, global economic activity is expected to fall by 6% in 2020, with average unemployment in OECD countries climbing to 9.2%, from 5.4% in 2019. In the event of a second large-scale outbreak triggering a return to lockdown, the situation would be worse (OECD, 2020[2]).
All this has implications for education, which depends
on tax money but which is also the key to tomorrow’s tax income. Decisions concerning budget allocations to various
sectors (including education, healthcare, social security and defence) depend on countries’ priorities and the prevalence of private provision of these services. Education is an
area in which all governments intervene to fund, direct or regulate the provision of services. As there is no guarantee that markets will provide equitable access to educational opportunities, government funding of educational services is needed to ensure that education is not beyond the reach of some members of society. In 2017, total public expenditure on primary to tertiary education as a percentage of total government expenditure was 11% on average across OECD countries. However, this share varies across OECD and partner countries, ranging from around 7% in Greece to around 17% in Chile (Figure 1).
However, government funding on education often fluctuates in response to external shocks, as governments reprioritise investments. The slowdown of economic growth associated with the spread of the virus may affect the availability of public funding for education in OECD and partner countries, as tax income declines and emergency funds are funnelled into supporting increasing healthcare and welfare costs.
