Online Classes &COVID-19
Due
to COVID-19 all the educational institutes were closed across the country.
Thus, the Indian educational system moved away from conventional classrooms to virtual
classroom. The students as well as faculties were not prepared for online
classes. They had to adjust quickly to start with digital classes.
Online
classes have its own benefits like the students are better able to concentrate
in Online classes as compared to conventional classrooms, they do not have to
wake up in the morning to reach the school or college. Travelling time has
reduced. They are able to sit at home comfortably, can spend time with the
family and attend classes conveniently.
But
the students are facing many problems while attending online classes such as
connectivity issues. In India, there are around 630 million internet users and
has world's second-biggest web client base. In this case also, connectivity is
as yet an issue. The students are not able to attend the classes as there is
internet issue either from faculty side or from their side. It is also being
found that there is low attendance in online classes as students are not able
to access the classes due to non-availability to gadgets or the web. They
didn't get an opportunity to charge the battery of the phone because of the
long length of classes.
Our country is not fully prepared to make digital education
available in all corners. In this uncertain time, there is need to have robust
measures in the education sector.
