Hence, I looked at the various online learning
platforms and services they are offering during this lockdown and I came across
a blog by Eduncle where they have shared about an article writing contest. It's
a simple and easy contest in which you have to write about COVID-19 and
the current situation of India due to its impact.
The winning price of this contest is free access
to the study material and test series. If you are interested then to
participate you will have to register for the contest.
At this writing, in India, some 2,58, 340 cases have been reported,
and 7208 deaths. There is no doubt that India had no choice other than the
lockdown to avoid the colossal toll the virus could take on lives, or at least
buy time as the country, with our poorly equipped and historically underfunded
health system, prepares to face it. However, the lockdown was poorly conceived
and declared without preparation. Considering the time lag since the first case
was reported from China, and the first case was reported in India to the country-wide
lockdown, the preparation could have been much better. The sudden lockdown,
including the closing down of a considerable number of private hospitals,
essential medical services and pharmacies, are causing and will continue to
cause a huge damage to demographic and health outcomes.
Coronavirus pandemic has significantly disrupted various
sectors in India including oil and gas, automobiles, aviation, agriculture,
retail, etc. We can't ignore that hardly a sector would remain unaffected by
the crisis. The impact may be more or less. Same is with the education sector
in India. Let us find out the impact of coronavirus on education in India with
some possible solutions.
The state governments across the country temporarily shut
down schools and colleges. As per the present situation, there is an
uncertainty when schools and colleges will reopen. No doubt, this is the
crucial time for education sector because entrance tests of several
universities and competitive examinations are held during this period.
Impact and concern during COVID-19
·The lockdown has generated
uncertainty over the exam cycle. May be universities may face impact in terms of a slowdown in student internships and placements, lower fee collection that
can create hurdles in managing the working capital.
·Another major concern is that it can affect the
paying capacity of several students for good quality study material.
·Student counselling operations are also
affected.
·Unavailability of coaching, good study material
etc.
Possible Solution during COVID-19
·With the help of power supply, digital skills
of teachers and students, internet connectivity it is necessary to explore
digital learning, high and low technology solutions, etc.
·Students those are coming from low-income
groups or presence of disability, etc. distance learning programs can be
included.
·To provide support for digitalisation to
teachers and students.
·The necessity to explore digital learning
platforms.
·Contest and competition by online platforms and
