The post-Corona world will see revolutionary changes in education



Covid-19 is making its mark all over the world. Education is no exception. Let's take a look at how Covid-19 is forcing a radical change in the education system.

When the world chooses lock down as the only way to deal with corona, the Internet is the only way. The lives of about 60 million students around the world are at stake for this disease. Although this disorder has forced students to suffer considerable losses, we cannot deny some of the practical benefits of this transformation in the education system.

Therefore, educational institutions should adopt alternative approaches very soon.

There are three visible aspects of education:
A) To create interesting and captivating lessons for the students through research.
B) Teaching through classes or lectures or annotations or self-lessons or discussions.
C) To evaluate the work of the students by adopting different methods.

The advent of the corona has had an adverse effect on all three.

It is also true that if Covid-19 had not attacked us, online education would have remained a dream.
A large number of students still do not have access to the Internet. So they are unable to take advantage of online education. Yet a large number of students still do not have the infrastructure needed to ensure online education. But it is also true that if Covid-19 had not attacked us, online education would have remained a dream. The arrival of Corona has also brought about a revolutionary change in the field of education.


Let's see exactly what these changes are:

1) Now classes are being taken using Zoom or WebX or Skype or Google Hangouts or Microsoft Team or GotMeeting. Just as teachers and students can see each other in the classroom, teachers can see students through the Internet through these video conferencing software, and students can see teachers. Most importantly, it is now possible to record a lecture with an online camera. It is an important educational document for the future.

2) The handwritten paper has been replaced by a PowerPoint presentation or PDF or website link or YouTube link. The biggest advantage of online media is easy storage. So even after teaching, students can take the help of online resources in their own time.

3) Google Spreadsheet and Google Classroom are being used to register attendance. In some cases, attendance documents are also being kept through WhatsApp. There is no room for fraud here either. This document can also be used for administrative purposes.

4) In many cases, lessons are being sent in advance and only doubts are being removed during class. It is organizing a radical change in the traditional and undemocratic education system. Now the responsibility of a teacher is not ending just by teaching. The teacher now has to transform education into efficiency.

5) Today is the era of mixed education. So in the post-Corona world, 40 percent of the lessons will be given offline in the traditional way. The remaining 80 percent will be Internet-based education. It is possible to develop the intellect of a student. The post-Corona world will prioritize online education. So this change is going to be lasting.

6) Distance education is going to bring a revolution in the education system. We will move from a campus-based education system to a non-campus education system. Students will study at home using various innovative methods. So in the future, there will be immense opportunities to continue both work and study. True knowledge will replace memorization which transforms a person into a citizen.

7) Education will no longer have degrees. Education that does not impart skills will no longer have any value. The day of the degree on paper is coming to an end. The arrival of Corona is explaining to human society the value of skill-based education.

8) Value-based education will be the path of the next world. This catastrophe is teaching people new humanity. Education will play a key role in this change.

9) In the post-Corona world, social media will play a leading role in education. Teachers and students will keep in touch with each other through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn Slideshare. It is important to remember that space and time will become secondary in future education.

10) The day is not far away when the test will not be based on memorization. Future test questions will be analytical and students will need to be more creative.

11) Artificial intelligence will become very important in education in the future. As a result, a lot of the work that teachers do now will become automatic. Teachers have to adapt to this basic truth.

12) The Internet will be transformed into a basic human right. Information such as food, clothing, and shelter will vary in our basic needs. In the same way, the internet will become essential in education.

13) Online seminars or webinars will become a primary way to acquire knowledge and disseminate knowledge. We can now see that all the renowned universities around the world are organizing multiple webinars. In the post-Corona world, the number of webinars will increase and the number of books will not decrease.

14. Education in the post-Corona world will help develop creativity in students. Information-based education will disappear.

Education is changing forever and those who cannot adapt to this change will become extinct like dinosaurs.
