COVID-19 has utterly disrupted the education systems at all level and brought enormous challenges to the education community.
Before the pandemic, students used to go to schools at fixed times and get access to proper classroom training and learning. Teachers, administrators, and all others used to come to schools and perform their respective duties. All this has changed dramatically overnight with the pandemic forcing schools to shut down and look for alternative means to continue education. As a result, schools transitioned to e-learning. Teachers have moved online and delivered classes remotely, and students had to rely more on their resources to continue learning. Everything related to the school has shifted to online: attendance, teaching, learning, course materials, assignments, assessments, grading, and management.
It seems like the education community can’t wait to return to those conventional schooling days. Even governments around the world have been trying to reopen schools to let the usual academic process begin. However, with the pandemic still raging on with no end in sight and vaccines still months away, schools getting back to ‘normal’ will take time.
So, amidst all these challenges and uncertainties, how do you keep your school running? What’s the future of education post-pandemic?
While some wonder whether the adoption of online learning will continue post-pandemic, research has shown that online learning increases retention of information and takes less time. Meaning, the changes coronavirus has caused might be here to stay. Even experts believe that a hybrid model of education will emerge, and online education will eventually become an integral component of school education. This means every school will need to digitize their operations post-pandemic. So, are you worried about the post-pandemic scenario? Is your school ready for the digital and blended teaching challenges?
