Republic of India being
regarded as the most developed and influential nation in the world as well as
retain the status of being world’s most famous and remarked country. Quite
often natural disasters causing stepping back in the development phase of the
country in different areas like economic, industry development, socio,
employability etc. But the pandemic COVID-19 resulting the huge damage to the
country almost in every corner region and destroying the backbone of the
country. No doubt the outbreak COVID-19 has demonstrated us the inevitable
changes that have also served as a catalyst for educational institutes and
technology platforms to evolve. Indians are still in a big strike of the pervasive;
loads of weights have also been added to their miseries through their
children's online classes.
Corona Virus Infectious
Disease (COVID-19) initially identified during Dec’2019 in Wuhana, China and has
grown across the world in an early period, causing a huge number of deaths in
lakhs in 188 countries worldwide than ever before. Fatigue, coldness, cough,
headache, breathing difficulties and many more are all symptoms. It is in
direct touch with the people.
As a result of the
increase in the spread ratio of the virus from March 2020, both the Government
of India and the state governments have begun to lock down the spread of the
virus during different phases and to seal off all offices, banks, colleges,
organisations etc. All the rest are in shut-down modes with the exception of
certain openings such as grocery, medication, medical, the police station, the
gas tanks, the fire brigade etc.
Impact
of virus on various domains
The impact and effect of the virus is felt on almost all the sections and corners of the society and mostly it creates a very impact on the education system. The educational system stops like applied with the air break all of a sudden before something has been thought off. Gradually, a full E-learning system has been enabled for the semesters and the teacher practicum program. The learning and tutorial systems. As the pandemic spreads rapidly, the Govt. hardly has time to prepare and negotiate possible threats and opportunities such a shift could bring.
COVID-19 contributed with our interpretation of the natural and deconstructed, as it is known, to the global perception of our contemporary lifestyle. It takes us also through a global perception. The life of the students, teachers, and parents has been changed by preparation, and it has become clear to the people concerned the need for improvement.
In order to find the answers to concerns about the effect of the so-called pandemic on the future of education systems, issues about the quality and modernization of society need to be taken into account. This offered the chance to re-examine the education sector yet to improve the process in line with change in the world. It can change the way the curriculum is taught and how it is conducted. The above claims that relate to education in schools and colleges have a new focus and this is a significant change from today's education focused on awareness.
In addition to the disturbances generated due to the new education system in schools and colleges, acquisition of data and digital technologies have undergone some major changes in the area of literacy. It may have been the engine of a transition from pre-school to tertiary education, as shown below, almost all the stages in the whole education system.
The higher education system has profoundly affected the pandemic as the primary determinant for the economic future of a nation. This condition leads to students becoming more anxious about long-term unemployment.
The pandemic has
converted the century-old crab learning platform into an important technical
platform. The education movement leads policymakers to consider how large-scale
involvement can be accelerated while maintaining opportunities for e-learning
and digital media management. There are some facts and considerations that
often allow certain organisations to benefit from the situation as an
opportunity. These are likely to be as listed:
1. 1. Mafias of educational institutes charging
heavy amount of money from the parents without justifying any reason for the
due money and simply playing with the emotions.
2. 2. Students’ even kids are also habituated
badly with the electronic gadgets spreading like a virus.
3. 3. Reduction in salaries of the employees even
though they are working for the full hour for the employer or the organisation.
4. 4. In spite of saving a huge amount of money
against the maintenance expenditure like air conditioner, electricity,
transport etc. gives rise to the role of ultimate mafias, political leaders to
participate in the share and creating burden on the parents.
Amendments
to the academic systems
Over the short period of
time, the majority of institutions, schools, colleges and universities have
implemented an Emergency Remote
Education (ERT) programm, focused on the current mixed courses, to achieve
maximum awareness of e-learning course delivery.
The students were
requested to follow the existing teaching and learning environment. In this
case. The students designed and developed their courses into a personalised
format, like Moodle, Zoom, Google classrooms, Hangouts, Schoology and many
other open source platforms. The curriculum of teachers' education and the
teaching internship in particular are therefore necessary to be revised in line
with the required online educational skills.
The big setback is that
the toughest reality is that the lockout has bounded the students within the
four walls has bounded the students within the four walls leaving them with no
room but the online site. But with that it has also provided an opportunity to
highlight and explore their secret talents which they may not have the chance
in the regular days tightly packed schedule. Since many do not have a mobile
phone handset with them at the same time, networking difficulties in remote
areas trigger exams without alternatives explicitly or implicitly deleted from
the Tutorials. Besides all these, the electronic devices can also be a major
cause for the health issues.

beings also very badly. Even if it gives rise to several issues like
development of e-learning methods, knowledge about better use of technologies, strengthening
of relationships in families etc. but it creates an deadly environment in the
society by increasing the mortality rate and showing the disasters to human
beings leaving no option with them. Somewhere or other the situation helps the
rich to be more rich and poor to become the poorest and struggling with life.
