Effect Of Online Learning Education System Due to Covid-19

Abstract

Corona pandemic has affected every aspect of human life including children. Whether it’s the mental health, physical health or a combination of both – the children have had their own share of health problems during this pandemic phase. The whole world is experiencing the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic situation. With the outbreak of the novel corona virus, all sectors of the society came to a standstill worldwide [Gonzalez et.al, 2020]. One of the fundamental pillars for society building is strong education system. Education is a process of disseminating knowledge and skill to produce researchers, academicians, professionals and entrepreneurs etc. Education society, also suffered a lot due to an unanticipated interruption in the conduction of prescribed curriculum. Large impact on education is being observed all over the world. The situation has created a challenge in front of Ministry of Education, UGC and even with the stakeholders such as governing bodies of schools, higher education institutes, teachers, students and parents to reframe and adopt the new education system. The reframed system should be more agile, flexible and resistant to such global crisis. Indian government is providing a platform to facilitate learning and also coming up with the solutions like revised academic calendar, new evaluation reforms etc. to make up for the loss of academic hours due to COVID-19 pandemic. Crisis has reinforced the entire education system to recalibrate its actions and delivery channels [Cathy, 2020]. Pandemic situation has enhanced the role of remote working, e-learning, video streaming, etc. on a broad scale [Ebner et.al. 2020]. The learning mode has shifted from offline to online. This transition has impacted not only the teachers who have to adopt this new method but also the students who have to adjust to a new learning environment. Several recommendations have appeared to help teachers in the process of online instruction. Since last twelve months this new mode has been adopted by educationalist, teachers, learners and parents. But really a need has arisen to study the accessibility and effectiveness of on-line learning methodology.
