Impact of covid 19 on online 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.
