Consequence of COVID-19 on the Education System
Keywords:
shutting down, health and nutrition, learning inequality among childrenAbstract
Education is the building block of any nation; it builds skills, habits, knowledge and mind of the child. Any nation cannot afford the discontinuation of its education system. Health is also a major concern for any nation and keeping its countrymen healthy is the responsibility of the nation’s government. The outbreak of the corona virus (COVID-19) has declared by WHO a public health emergency of international concern. The impact of pandemic COVID-19 is observed in every sector around the world. The education sectors of India as well as world are badly affected by this. The shutting down of schools & colleges and the decision of shifting traditional classrooms to digital platforms is not only increasing learning inequality among children, but also pushing a large number of children out of school& colleges due to the digital divide. Other than learning, the absence of schooling would also have a long-lasting effect on the health and nutrition of children.
