Covid 19 has changed everything around us and the education sector is no different. The pandemic around the globe has certainly left an unforgettable impact in the field of education. By March 2020, Indian education system witnessed the closure of all educational institutions, be it schools, colleges, universities, etc and it continues to be the same with some exceptions.
With the spread of the pandemic and a sudden halt in education, it became mandatory for all institutions, teachers and students to devise ways to transition from traditional ways of instruction to online learning. This transition was so quick that it did not give enough time reflect on the gaps that the infrastructure had.
Let’s look at few challenges faced by the education system of our country:
- This swift change did not take into consideration that online teaching and learning requires a certain amount of skill both at the end of the instructor and the learner.
- Internet connectivity is still a major challenge in the interiors of India
- Dropouts have increased
- The digital divide of India has been exposed yet again
- Operational challenges have slowed down the process
- Effectiveness of instruction and grasping has been hit
- Added financial burden to economically affected sectors
We at Master School of Management have been a part of these massive changes and with our future initiatives, we plan to overcome these challenges in our small little way.
