Virtual Teaching and Studying from home(SFH)

As the lockdown relaxes the world over and the educational institutions try to go back to the old norms, the educators of the world need to pause and re-think. Online classes are draining India’s school teachers. Middle school teachers say it is impossible to check whether each student is paying attention and tough to manage the unruly ones. Some high school teachers report being locked out of their e-classrooms by tech-savvy students. At nurseries and kindergartens, teachers fret about quick-to-judge parents joining their toddlers online. The Covid-19 pandemic has forced schools in India to move to virtual classrooms, but the teachers were not prepared for this. Without any training or infrastructure support, school teachers are struggling.

Their issues range from basics like internet connectivity and India’s notoriously undependable power supply to more structural issues such as curriculum and teaching methods. Unruly students are making it worse. Most of teachers of India that they might be from school or college don't have that much amount of experience that they can teach easily, except the teachers of expensive schools and colleges. Also, urban areas having 57% of internet penetration whereas as rural areas are at only 27 % according to IAMAI and the most common problem is connectivity and speed during lockdown speed is decreased by 18 % but this also a global problem as the users are continuously using internet according to news report. Apart from that It issue to understand that to complete the classes students must have sufficient data at affordable price. Electricity is also being the major concern during lockdown and mostly in summer there is power challenges not only in rural areas but some urban areas too. Do we want our education system to settle back into the old mould ? Do we want an education system which is based on the physical age of the students, rather than the talent profile? A system where we try to push for generalized education for all and thereby suppress the specialized talent. Can the world afford this? Especially India where 10 million youth come out of school with identical general education and find a bleak future ahead. Or should we take the opportunity to create an Education system which focuses on creating more innovators than the perfect job seekers. An education system which is inclusive and accessible equally to all without their social status or income profile. While the edu-tech companies are blooming taking this as an opportunity. This lockdown there was a massive increase in the number of users for the. The point they wanted to prove to parents for a long time it,s auto-realized. Probably, sooner we can expect a merger with schools and colleges by edu-tech companies. Looking forward for an advanced education system.
