Explanation:
The petrifying and severe impact of COVID-19 has shaken the world to its core. Further, most of the Governments around the world have temporarily closed educational institutions in an attempt to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In India too, the government as a part of the nationwide lockdown has closed all educational institutions, as a consequence of which, learners ranging from school going children to postgraduate students, are affected.
These nationwide closures are impacting over 91% of the worlds' student population. Several other countries have implemented localized closures impacting millions of additional learners. UNESCO is supporting countries in their efforts to mitigate the immediate impact of school closures, particularly for more vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, and to facilitate the continuity of education for all through remote learning. The UNESCO report estimates that the coronavirus pandemic will adversely impact over 290 million students across 22 countries. The UNESCO estimates that about 32 crores students are affected in India, including those in schools and colleges.
Therefore, the government has come up with e-learning program. Many ed-tech firms have tried to leverage the occasion by offering free online classes or attractive discounts on e-learning modules. These measures have been met with overwhelming response by students with some startups witnessing as high as 25% uptick in e-learning. Remote learning seems a viable solution to students during this time as they offer convenient, on -the- go and affordable access to lessons. E-learning also comes as an interesting and interactive alternative as compared to classroom teaching.
Nevertheless, Covid-19 has prompted experts to rethink the conventional mode of education. Digital education appears to be a viable solution to fill in the void for classroom education for a period of three to four months while minimizing the chances of any infection to students until classes resume. More importantly, it has also brought the hitherto peripheral issue of digital education in India to the centre stage. Going forward, digital education is likely to be integrated into mainstream education. This will enable inclusive education by facilitating learning across diverse geographies in India. Moreover, it will provide an opportunity for educators to come up with customized learning solutions for every studen
Answer:
The little corona with its silent declaration of war against humanity terrorized humanity. With lock down and the advisories from the government, it created deep impact on the society. Especially in the education field, it brought about dramatic changes. The advisories and the notices sent by the different governing bodies, councils and the boards of education stressing on conducting researches and related activities brought about changes at all levels of education whether primary, secondary or tertiary.
With all the imposed advisories from the authorities, the institutional heads without taking a least time to think, acted by forwarding it to their colleagues and the channel continued until it came to an end. It was only then, many who never prepared a paper, prepared the research papers within the four walls. With the existence of autocracy in most of the universities, institutes and colleges especially in the private sector, the institutional heads started exploring the other alternatives and ZOOM became the popular. Whereas in higher education some of the teachers used ZOOM as a platform to conduct online classes and some enthusiastic used it as a platform for sharing in the form of webinars, it was merely abused by the institutional and organizational heads for the day long meetings continuing for the weeks and a month with their subordinates without any output. It was pity that when the country and the fellowmen were suffering, these heads continued on discussing post COVID 19 opportunities for the institutional monetary benefits.
Zoom, not only restricted to higher education reached the schools and some schools and tuition classes initiated conducting online classes. As if these were less, some of the schools initiated the online classes for the primary and pre-primary school students and it was tragic and funny that the mother sitting with her child in her lap, with a mobile in her hand remains helping her child to get educated by the so called apt, dedicated and devoted schools. This was the height of the abuse of the technology. Was it so necessary for a small child to be on screen and that too the screen which cannot be controlled? What are the schools trying to convey or are they too trying to be corona to create terror to the uninfected parents and infect the children permanently? Indeed, education is necessary but home is the first school and mother is the first teacher. Apart of the formal lessons, the most important lessons of etiquettes, sharing and caring could be taught by the parents rather than giving them the practice to use mobile which has already proved to be a disaster because these kids cannot discriminate between the good and bad shared by the internet and even the internet fails to differentiate the age and maturity of the users.
As if this were less, the education boards started the assessment of the papers and the teachers were forced to come to assess the papers. Ofcourse, it is necessary. But when the terror or corona is rising, the facilities are few, social distancing is a problem and above all the mindset is not favourable, at this point of time, the evaluation or the assessment of the exam papers is questionable and doubtful because the worth of any work done out of compulsion and imposition is doubtful and these papers to be evaluated are the one to decide the future of the potential students, state and the country which cannot be taken casually. Nevertheless, with the fear of each individual being infected, at this time, it is difficult to assure that the terrorized mind which does not allow us to accept the call of satisfying the necessities other than the basic necessities will allow the body and mind to be ready enough to assess the papers normally and neutrally. In the situation when there is no certainty of opening of the schools and colleges; maybe the at the risk of many lives, the paper's will be assessed and maybe the results will be declared but output will be questionable and doubtful. The declaration of results on time doesn’t mean development for the real development lies in the character formation of students.
