Covid-19 Impact on Education ! | AwareFeed

Hello friends! Let us analyze what the impacts of COVID 19 on education are And what steps are being taken to mitigate it. Come, let us see As of 28th June, 2020, the data of UNESCO has revealed that there have been nationwide closures of schools and colleges in more than 114 countries all across the world which has affected more than 1 billion students The issue is of school fees hike Nowadays, the students are already under a of stress. Stressful situations for parents are being created as well Some private schools in our country are not conducting any online classes.

The schools say that they are hiking fees in order to be able to pay salary to the teachers What do you have to say about this? 

The best solution in my opinion is that the government should pay the salaries to the teachers out of the 20 lakh crore package that Modiji had given and the parents should be totally relieved until the schools re open -So you are suggesting that the government should pay the teachers on behalf of the private schools -Yes, they should directly pay the salaries to the teachers They might not be able to pay 100% of the salary.

Stress For Students

From the perspective of the students, the last few months have been extremely stressful Repeated postponement and cancellation of exams as well as the reigning uncertainty No clarity about the cancellation of exams or when the exams would be held instead What grading system would be used and whether it would be beneficial for the students or not, Constant online classes for 5-6 days prolonged exposure to the screens with headphones on is not an ideal scenario It is extremely stressful and leads to increase in anxiety and depression And in some extreme cases, students have also committed suicide In this case, the class 9 student did not have access to either a smartphone or a TV so she was unable to attend online classes due to which she committed suicide -Education is for the child. The child should be the focal point But we see that the child exists nowhere (in the discussions) Either all the discussion is from the angle of the benefit for the parents or for the school or the government The child is nowhere in the picture It is extremely unfortunate that nobody talks about the interest of whom the entire struggle is for Furthermore, the absence of any kind of physical education and exercise exerts a very negative impact on the health of the student Eating habits and sleep cycles deteriorate and the constant online classes require them to sit all the time Here, I would like to recommend that you should try and exercise, even if it is at home or if you can go somewhere around the house outside and exercise in a safe manner then you should definitely try and do it Because regular exercise is extremely essential for both mental and physical health. 

Solutions !

Talking of solutions, It is very important for the government to regulate the fees hike of the private schools Till date, 15 states have made legislations on paper to regulate the fees hike of the private schools But parents are involved in the school boards only in 4 states in India where the fees hike can be regulated It is important to make a parent teachers association and grant them decision making powers so that they can regulate the fees hike If it is in the hands of the parents, then it can be controlled and implemented better The rest of the states should also follow this lead.

There is a Petition, -----You can sign the petition here----- regarding this, so that the fees of the private schools can be regulated.
