how covid-19 is impact on education
Answers
Answer:
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected educational systems worldwide, leading to the near-total closures of schools, universities and colleges.
Explanation:
Most governments around the world have temporarily closed educational institutions in an attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19.[1] As of 30 September 2020, approximately 1.077 billion learners are currently affected due to school closures in response to the pandemic. According to UNICEF monitoring, 53 countries are currently implementing nationwide closures and 27 are implementing local closures, impacting about 61.6 percent of the world's student population. 72 countries' schools are currently open.[2]
On 23 March 2020, Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) released a statement announcing the cancellation of Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge O Level, Cambridge International AS & A Level, Cambridge AICE Diploma, and Cambridge Pre-U examinations for the May/June 2020 series across all countries.[3] International Baccalaureate exams have also been cancelled.[4] In addition, Advanced Placement Exams, SAT administrations, and ACT administrations have been moved online and cancelled.
School closures impact not only students, teachers, and families.[5] but have far-reaching economic and societal consequences.[6][7] [8] School closures in response to the pandemic have shed light on various social and economic issues, including student debt,[9] digital learning,[8] [10][11] food insecurity,[12] and homelessness,[13][14] as well as access to childcare,[15] health care,[16] housing,[17] internet,[18] and disability services.[19] The impact was more severe for disadvantaged children and their families, causing interrupted learning, compromised nutrition, childcare problems, and consequent economic cost to families who could not work.[20][21]
In response to school closures, UNESCO recommended the use of distance learning programmes and open educational applications and platforms that schools and teachers can use to reach learners remotely and limit the disruption of education.
Efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19 through non-pharmaceutical interventions and preventive measures such as social-distancing and self-isolation have prompted the widespread closure of primary, secondary, and tertiary schooling in over 100 countries.[23]
Previous outbreaks of infectious diseases have prompted widespread school closings around the world, with varying levels of effectiveness.[24][25][26] Mathematical modelling has shown that transmission of an outbreak may be delayed by closing schools.[27] However, effectiveness depends on the contacts children maintain outside of school.[28][29] School closures appear effective in decreasing cases and deaths, particularly when enacted promptly.[30] If school closures occur late relative to an outbreak, they are less effective and may not have any impact at all.[24][25] Additionally, in some cases, the reopening of schools after a period of closure has resulted in increased infection rates.[31] As closures tend to occur concurrently with other interventions such as public gathering bans, it can be difficult to measure the specific impact of school closures.[31]
During the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic in the United States, school closures and public gathering bans were associated with lower total mortality rates.[25] Cities that implemented such interventions earlier had greater delays in reaching peak mortality rates.[32][31] Schools closed for a median duration of 4 weeks according to a study of 43 US cities' response to the Spanish Flu.[32] School closures were shown to reduce morbidity from the Asian flu by 90% during the 1957–58 outbreak,[33] and up to 50% in controlling influenza in the US, 2004–2008.[34]
Multiple countries successfully slowed the spread of infection through school closures during the 2009 H1N1 Flu pandemic. School closures in the city of Oita, Japan, were found to have successfully decreased the number of infected students at the peak of infection; however closing schools was not found to have significantly decreased the total number of infected students.[35] Mandatory school closures and other social distancing measures were associated with a 29% to 37% reduction in influenza transmission rates.[36] Early school closures in the United States delayed the peak of the 2009 H1N1 Flu pandemic.[24] Despite the overall success of closing schools, a study of school closures in Michigan found that "district level reactive school closures.
Impact of Covid-19 on education
Covid-19 has great impact on education. Students in our country have been demanding the cancellation of exams. Parents are demanding that the private schools should not hike their fees. Schools say that they do not have money to pay salaries to staff and faculty members.
As 28th June, 2020 the date of UNESCO has revealed that there have been nationwide closures of schools and colleges. In more than 114 countries, it affected more than billion students. In context to India, more than 32 crore students have been affected.
Online classes are great solution in short run, but it also creates digital divide, as many people can't afford smartphones and daily internet package. Online classes are not even a short term solution for primary school kids because contact with physical teacher is necessary for young kids.
Talking about exams several universities close the world to the direction for holding Open book exam. Some education activities say that declare 2020 as a "Zero Academic Year" and promote All students upto class XI.
So for all this - it is very important to form parents-teachers association and grant them to season making power.
