The world is in Turmoil in Corona: What Will Be the Future Education?


What Will Be the Future Education for Corona pandemic?

"The only obstacle to my learning is my education," said scientist Albert Einstein. Who dropped out of school at the age of 15, disliked conventional or conventional education.

Newton was a student at Trinity College in 1855 when the benign plague spread throughout Europe. The college was closed due to the epidemic. At that time, such a lockdown was issued as it is today, and it was in this lockdown that Newton discovered his famous law of gravitation while stuck at home, which changed the world forever. Newton later referred to that period of 'social distance' as the 'unforgettable year'.

Michael Faraday regularly attended free lectures given by eminent scientists as part of social 'welfare' programs for the working class. And through this he had the opportunity to meet his mentor Humphrey Davy and later to work with him as an apprentice. The power we enjoy today is the brainchild of Michael Faraday.

As a result, going beyond the structural environment, 'thinking' and 'experimentation' have proved to be 'groundbreaking' in their case and have changed the face of science.

Most recently, the SARS virus has hit the world, forcing many countries to close educational institutions. Which had the same effect on the spread of Ebola in Africa. That being said, since World War II, many countries around the world have not seen schools and educational institutions go into lockdown at the same time and for the same reason.

According to UNESCO, 1.6 billion (90 percent) students from 190 countries are now under house arrest. As a result, the path to physical education is blocked. In that case, if the virus spreads in a matter of seconds, experts say, it will act as a controlling force for global education to become online-dependent. Because, educational institutions have to be closed for more days to prevent infection.


For many years, experts have been thinking about implementing digital education. But the process was simultaneously slow and frustrating. As a result, teachers and students were hesitant to adopt new teaching methods. But the global Corona epidemic has virtually "added fuel to the fire." While country after country is choosing lockdown as the only way to deal with corona, internet-based education has become the only way.

Gurmukhi education or going to the teacher in school-college or university is the common practice. But he had to break the tradition today due to lockdown. Centuries-old educational institutions, lecture-based teaching process, ingrained institutional bias and outdated classroom system are deplorable and tragic. The Covid-19 showed the need for change in the field of education to keep pace with the development of modern science or technology (with a finger in the eye) (much like the weakness in the health sector of a strong country!). As a result, experts or policy makers have to think about different issues in a relatively short period of time.

Without the dual factors that affect education, expensive modern technology and its negativity, will teachers-students be able to break the norm and adapt to new teaching methods or changes?

As time goes on, everything will become clearer. Here we are discussing how Kovid-19 is forcing a radical change in the education system. While this epidemic has forced students to suffer considerable losses, we cannot deny some of the practical benefits of this transformation in the education system. In a country like ours, the availability of internet remains in question. Yet a large part does not have this advantage. So they cannot take advantage of online education. Although many people now have mobile phones, the infrastructure needed to ensure online-based education is inadequate compared to the demand. But it is also true that if Kovid-19 had not attacked us, online education would have remained an illusory dream.

Arjun Appadurai, a professor at New York University, described the crisis as a "possibility" for society. If today's negative perspective on the crisis of the Coronation also opens up such a positive direction in our education system, what is wrong with it? So let's take a look at the changes.

Since the educational institution is closed due to corona, it is no longer a reality to study face to face or in person in the classroom. The system has been replaced online so that students can continue their studies, meaning that just as teachers and students can see each other in the classroom, teachers can view students via the Internet via Zoom, Google Classroom, Google Hangouts, WebX or similar video conferencing software. And students to teachers.


Another important aspect of this online education is easy preservation. Teachers can record his lectures online with the camera. Educational aids (such as notes) are no longer confined to a sheet of paper. You can save them on the Internet through PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, slideshares or YouTube links. As a result, students are able to use them according to their time and opportunity.

Platforms such as Google Drive or Dropbox are being used to save on the Internet, which teachers or students can easily access via desktop, tablet or smartphone. Google spreadsheets and Google classrooms are being used to record attendance. In some cases attendance records are also being kept through WhatsApp. There is no scope for fraud here. It can be used for administrative purposes. Changes in the method of assessment are also coming.

Evaluate student work

One of the most obvious aspects of education is the evaluation of students' work using a variety of methods. The direction has been hampered by the advent of the corona. The two most popular methods of evaluating students' work in the classroom are the Individual Readiness Assurance Test (iRAT) and the Team Readiness Assurance Test (tRAT). Simply put, this process allows students to work individually or in groups on specific topics by providing the necessary learning materials in the classroom. After a certain period of time, the teacher gives an opinion on the subject with a test or quiz on that work. This approach is now being modernized by various online platforms, such as Google Classroom, Zoom, Moodle, Being used on WhatsApp. For example, the University of Helban in Egypt is using Zoom's' Breakout Room 'feature to easily evaluate students' work. In addition to Helban University, some other universities in Egypt find the strategy effective. Like food, clothing or shelter, the Internet will become a basic human right over time. In the same way information will become our primary need. As a result, internet will become essential in education. Education is now crippled without internet. In the current state of the epidemic, Bilgi University in Istanbul has rightly commented that modernization in education is no longer an 'alternative', it has now become an obligation. So the role of internet is immense to keep the wheel of education moving in these unusual times. The Internet, like clothing or housing, will become a basic human right over time. In the same way information will become our primary need. As a result, internet will become essential in education. Education is now crippled without internet. In the current state of the epidemic, Bilgi University in Istanbul has rightly commented that modernization in education is no longer an 'alternative', it has now become an obligation. So the role of internet is immense to keep the wheel of education moving in these unusual times. The Internet, like clothing or housing, will become a basic human right over time. In the same way information will become our primary need. As a result, internet will become essential in education. Education is now crippled without internet. In the current state of the epidemic, Bilgi University in Istanbul has rightly commented that modernization in education is no longer an 'alternative', it has now become an obligation. So the role of internet is immense to keep the wheel of education moving in these unusual times. It has now become an obligation. So the role of internet is immense to keep the wheel of education moving in these unusual times. It has now become an obligation. So the role of internet is immense to keep the wheel of education moving in these unusual times.

Skill based education will become important. Education that does not provide skills will gradually lose importance. As a result, the days of paper-based education are over. The epidemic clearly shows how important it is for the young generation to adapt to this ever-changing global environment and to have the strength to come out of difficult situations.

Among the other skills that employers in the post-Corona world will look for most are creativity, communication skills, emotional intelligence, collaboration and teamwork skills. Another reason for this may be that financial institutions will want to make up for the losses incurred due to corona very quickly and in the future it will be essential for them to employ skilled manpower to deal with any such situation easily.


Therefore, the future education system will help the students to develop their creativity beyond the boundaries of information based education. In the future the test questions will be analytical and memorization will be of no use.

Corona will redefine the role of the teacher in teaching in the future. A teacher who is the bearer and carrier of knowledge, who teaches or imparts knowledge to the students, that is the conviction. But Sandy McKenzie, a Copenhagen International School teacher, and Purnima Luthra, founder of TalentED, say the idea is no longer appropriate for 21st century education.

Teachers need to think about artificial intelligence in the future education system. Because, it will become an incidental part of education. In the future, the skills of teachers will change.

The post-Corona distance learning revolution is about to take place. Students will have the opportunity to pursue both study and future work using innovative approaches while sitting at home. As a result, we will move from campus to campus-free environment. Most of the top universities are developing distance learning systems for future generations. For example, all courses in the Harvard Summer School program are now being taught online. Teaching, training — everything will become online now. The reason, in part, is the high cost of campus education. This was stated by the President of Technology LLC in a study conducted by Pew Research Foundation.

Opportunities to acquire knowledge will be created through all online seminars and discussion meetings. Which is called webinar. As we have seen, various universities around the world have held convocations online. Note that space-time will become secondary in the acquisition of education.

The popularity of online courses will increase

The popularity of online courses will increase comparatively. Online courses will spread rapidly, an example of which is Coursera (an online course platform). According to CNBC, when the Kovid-19 spread, more than 2.5 million students applied for the course in mid-March. In terms of numbers, it is 522 percent more than last year. Users are similarly growing on other online course sites.

According to research, the market value of online course business will reach বিল 350 billion by 2025. Users of these sites receive certificates after completing certain courses. In case of employment, the value of these course certificates will increase.

Covid-19 has paved the way for public-private partnership in the implementation of common goals in education. As can be seen in China, the government has taken the initiative of distance education system so that the students can continue their studies at home without any hindrance. In this work, private companies come forward with the government on the condition of providing low cost internet. In developing countries, government as well as private companies can come forward to ensure equal access to education for all or to eliminate inequality in education.

Corona - The importance of social media will increase in the future. Teachers-students will keep in touch with each other using Facebook, WhatsApp etc. Corona-based education will be the next education system. As a result, this change in the field of education is going to be lasting.

Enrique Dance, a professor at the IE Business School, believes that educational institutions need to take a number of steps to adapt to this change. "It's going to be the next step in education," he said. Many people think that the present time is a little exception, which will return to normal after quarantine. This is a misconception. The education sector is one of the most important challenges and change will surely come after the epidemic.

Indian educators Ujjwal Chowdhury and Sunayan Bhattacharya have said of such a change in education: Education is changing forever and those who cannot adapt to this change will become extinct like dinosaurs.
