After being suspended for nearly four months, educational institutions across the country
have closed due to the eruption of Kovid-19 is currently busy reopening the school and
awaiting final approval from the government.
The sudden closure of schools causes many problems for school policy makers, higher
education institutions, teachers, students and parents who have not yet been addressed.
Completed yet. The Kovid Crisis has severely affected education and health in both
Cambodia and the rest of the world.
Dr. Kheang Sothy, Advisor to the Center for Environmental Digital Economy, Phnom
Penh-based Asian Vision Institute, said: The immediate closure of schools has had a
profound effect on education, which has shifted from school-based learning to online
learning. More independent students and those who prefer digital education and English
speakers are less affected by school closures. This is not.
"Isolation from school and lack of social interaction with friends and between teachers
and students create stress and road problems. Many more minds among students. "And
these have directly and indirectly affected academic ability and academic achievement."
Temporary school closures to prevent the spread of Kovid 19 have led to unexpected
changes in teaching methods and assessment. Study in schools and universities.
Traditional teaching methods using chalk and blackboard have been suspended as online
learning has become a buzzword in the profession. It is clear that many institutions may
be forced to pursue this direction indefinitely.
Schools and private institutions are redefining their classrooms, infrastructure and
teaching methods in response to new safety and hygiene measures to establish The
environment is comfortable for students.
"Online and distance learning will continue and teachers' roles will be shifted from
transfer," said Dr. Sothy. "Knowledge and skills are routinely turned into facilitators and
coaches."
"Online learning is not just about slide shows, it is about shifting the focus from teaching
to teaching. "Learning from teacher to student is a standard approach that everyone can
access with flexibility and quality."
"The combination of classroom and e-learning and distance learning will improve the
quality of education and relevance To many young scholars who have knowledge of
technology and high interest.
Dr. Sothy added: "Study in the classroom at the university should be used for discussion,
debate, guidance or as a room. "Practical experience is more than teaching."
Dr. Sothy also reminded that private educational institutions that do not have quality and
do not invest in teacher capacity development and infrastructure. Which is conducive to
students' learning will be more negatively affected.
