With no exception, the ongoing pandemic crisis has changed the way of entire human species.Corona virus has sought world attention for the first time in the year 2019 and declared as pandemic when spread across the globe.
The academic education has inter-aliabeen affected consistently and not stabilised yet.Much has been changed since first lockdown held in March, 2020 in India. Online education gave hope,when studentswere restrictedtotheir homes to catch up the academic schedule. Initially, all studentscheered and excited, hoping to get rid of age-old school education system.In fact, all academic affairs including sports and extra-curricular activities are shrunkto electronic gadgets, thereby affecting the overall development of the children. However, life is important when compared to everything.
The online education system undoubtedly is the only available option and has the edge in terms of large coverage of students, flexibility of timings andaffordability. Absence of peer group learning, sense of isolation and emotional imbalanceare the some of the flip side.
As we all know that pandemic has created the sense of uncertainty throughout the world. Therefore, it is needed that some new methodology and creative learning ideas be incorporated into the online system so as to fill the gap created by the pandemic and thereby virtual learning. The introduction of online debate competition, puzzle activities, counselling session may be helpful to some extent. However, the school education system is unparallel at all.
Further, it is also needed to make sure that the necessary resources may be provided to the students, who are not joining the online education system due to economic reasons of their family. The database of such students may be maintained and donation may be channelized to connect with the system.
