AFTERMATHS OF COVID
19 ON EDUCATION.
Did the pandemic harm or strengthen
educational system?
 What is the corona virus?
 COVID-19 is the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that emerged in
December 2019.
 COVID-19 can be severe, and has caused millions of deaths around the world as
well as lasting health problems in some who have survived the illness.
 The coronavirus can be spread from person to person. It is diagnosed with a test.
 The best way to protect yourself is to get vaccinated and boosted when you are
eligible, follow testing guidelines, wear a mask, wash your hands and practice
physical distancing.
 The covid 19 pandemic placed immense pressure on school education due to the
lockdowns that it forced governments to impose and mandatory distancing rules.
 IMPACT ON SCHOOL DIGITAL LITERACY
In light of physical constraints and concerns
due to COVID-19, many countries are
proactively embraced and explored new
options for advancing access to digital tools
and resources to support education, and the
delivery of important information. Digital
literacy training and skills became an
obligation and were thus accessible to even
the underprivileged. Digital skills are crucial
to facilitating longer-term human capital
investments in any country. though hard to
adapt to, digital learning contributed
immensely to green living.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON PASSRATES
Standardised test scores amongst several
countries declined drastically in the year 2021
and 2021, which are the years withing which
students were most exposed to the harsh
realities of the pandemic. Change is hard, but
drastic change is painful, having to adapt to
so many regulations, digital learning,
lockdowns, social deprivations, mental health
deterioration, all these factors play a role in
the performance of students. The covid-19
pandemic
STUDENT IMPACT
When lockdowns were imposed, Students
were forced to venture into virtual learning,
with little or no factors of motivation, social
deprivation, trauma from constant news of
death due to covid 19 as well as parents
losing jobs due to economic regression
caused by covid-19. most students were
daunted by the pandemic and
IMPACT ON EDUCATORS
The dynamics of teaching changed
drastically due to the covid 19 Pandemic.
Imparting knowledge one-to-one when a
teacher is able to detect understanding,
lack of attention and facial expressions that
may indicate confusion was the
conventional way of teaching and most
teachers were use to this. Having to impart
the same Knowledge digitally took an
immense emotional and mental toll of
educators. It was four times harder for
teachers to evaluate the effectiveness of
their lessons.
SCHOOL AFTER THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC.
Schools, colleges, and universities around the world were closed when COVID-19
struck. But lessons didn’t stop when innovative educators turned to remote
learning technologies. Though it was a harsh method to adapt to at the time, the
pandemic did an excellent job it its enforcement of digital learning. Modern
learning cannot be confined to the classroom, and it is more important than ever
to empower our teachers to continuously guide and nurture students during this
difficult time. Online learning means you can do it from anywhere, wherever you
are in the world. And you can often do it at a time that suits you. Some lessons are
pre-recorded, depending on the subject and format of what you choose to study.
Some also give you homework to complete in your own time. This means you can
go at your pace. Next, It’s cost-effective and plays a big role in the living green
movement that yearns to save earth from degradation. All students who had
exposure to digital learning due to covid, excel and will continue to excel in that
aspect and this is a major win for educational systems across the globe.
SUMMARISED DEMONSTRATION OF THE IMPACT OF COVID 19 IN
SCHOOLS
 CONCLUSION
In retrospect, covid-19 was extremely harsh upon the education sector as it
compromised the mental and social health of teachers and students, placed
financial constraints on schools and governments that were unable to afford
the facilitation of digital learning thus resulting in a painful decline of text
scores. In contrast, the pandemic prompted many nations to digitalise
education; a feat that has been talked of for several years but never
executed. The digitalisation of education brings us a step closer to living
green and an even bigger step closer to achieving the “digital India” that is
an aspiration of many. The harm that the pandemic caused was easily
redeemed due to the tenacious nature of humans and its merits live forever.
Perhaps it was not so bad upon education, after all!
