Corona Virus has sparked a global realization and changed our lives since its spread. It has collapsed our perception although. The effects of the fatal virus has brought a troublesome for teachers and students, not only in Pakistan but across the world.
As per a UNESCO estimate, over 154 crore students are severely impacted by the closure of educational institutions across the world amid the Corona virus outbreak. It even presents an unprecedented risk for children’s education.
Schools display a vital role to create greater understanding between students since they provide them physiological support. With no education for months, rates of domestic abuses and fights over custody arrangements have been on the rise. Especially the children would spend a lot looking at smartphones and the learning gaps will undoubtedly widen the gap between children from poorer and better- off homes. The dignity and importance of education would be more forgettable for the children around the globe.
COVID-19 is putting the global education into a tailspin. The current crisis has put the population to gaze deep on what remains in future without being engaged with knowledge. Many countries are heading for very sudden and unprecedented recession. Since with the arrival of Corona virus in China which emerged in late December 2019, the countries have worked up to close borders, institutions and schools to avoid the further spread of virus.
In done ways the economic harm of keeping schools closed is significant. But what goes very inaccurate for the world without accompanying a greater gift?
Regardless, in Pakistan educational system is entirely disturbed too. While many people’s opinions about opening schools in denied and many issues need to be resolved for schools to open, we need to look for ways to fighting the pandemic. In other countries that facilities have been maintained as schools are working hard to deliver the best learning possiblities to pupils at homes in order to be not deprived of this special online learning which is beneficial in the current time of COVID-19. But, we are to be well aware of how the internet system is in the country before turning to the online education.
The novel coronavirus may have forced Pakistan’s schools to temporarily close down. However, the educational sector in the country was meloriated. Now, due to the effects of COVID-19, millions of people are under greater trouble under lockdown_ especially poor. They are unable to maintain online learning.
Perhaps the government is not much concerned about it. In fact, online learning can help students to learn subjects that are not always available in schools. Sadly, there is a lack of resources or staff to learn well and struggle to teach a full-range of schools such as computer science or advanced mathematics.
Obviously in this way, students look to online learning platforms to connect students to teachers in virtual classrooms in the country to improve learning. It is now obvious how do we depend upon it and create greater connection to improve learning.
