Write a paragraph on the topic, 'impact of COVID 19 on education and online classes
Answers
The COVID-19 pandemic is first and foremost a health crisis. Many countries have (rightly) decided to close schools, colleges and universities. The crisis crystallises the dilemma policymakers are facing between closing schools (reducing contact and saving lives) and keeping them open (allowing workers to work and maintaining the economy). The severe short-term disruption is felt by many families around the world: home schooling is not only a massive shock to parents’ productivity, but also to children’s social life and learning. Teaching is moving online, on an untested and unprecedented scale. Student assessments are also moving online, with a lot of trial and error and uncertainty for everyone. Many assessments have simply been cancelled. Importantly, these interruptions will not just be a short-term issue, but can also have long-term consequences for the affected cohorts and are likely to increase inequality.
“Impact of COVID 19 on education and online classes .”
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.
