The COVID-19 Pandemic has spread its legs wide in the entire world. It has affected every sphere of life. From deteriorating health systems to the uncertainty in the education system, it has left no space to be colored. Students are facing the biggest loss of their time. Schools and Colleges are closed, exams are being conducted online, teaching is done online. The entire scenario has changed drastically after this covid-19 struck at the doors of the world.
This article presents the various problems of COVID-19 faced by the students as well as provides some solutions as well.
Problems
- The pressure on the students as well as teachers of both schools and high schools is increasing day by day.
- Classrooms are being digital as well as the admissions for the coming year are surrounded by confusion.
- Online learning and teaching are only good for the students who have a good internet connection and access to a better internet connection.
- It is even seen that the learning time of students has significantly reduced across the world. This hindrance in school learning is affecting the overall development of the child negatively.
- The exams have been standardized. Education and its various ways are deteriorating day by day. Due to the online exams, students instead of learning are relying more on notes or Google. The quality of education is deteriorating in the sense that students are neither getting the desired environment nor the education that is needed for their development.
- It is a well-known fact that this pandemic has disrupted the learning and development of millions of students. Learning has been restricted to the student’s home, there to they are not getting a fulfilled and stabilized environment. These interruptions are somewhere affecting the overall development of the child as a whole.
- The pandemic in a way has not only obstructed the education but also the overall development of a child as it is only the school and colleges that contribute to the personality development of an individual. The pandemic has restricted the individuals to their homes. Neither the students nor the citizens are able to come out. The entire planning and structure of the educational system have shivered.
Solutions
- Students and Individuals, first of all, should try to learn how to protect themselves and others from Covid-19. We can protect ourselves from the virus by self-isolation, social distancing, and good hygiene.
- One should look for opportunities at home. We should think of all the activities that we are still able to do at home. Such as maintaining the learning as well as the study at home. One could read a book and even listen to podcasts. One can try to learn a new hobby or skill such as singing, dancing, cooking a new recipe, learning a language, gardening, etc.
- We should try to provide relief to the schools so that they can provide effective instruction and support at various scales during a pandemic.
- One should also try to recover both the schools as well as the students from the effects and the after-effects of this pandemic so that they can return to their in-school operations. They should be provided with extra investments.
- It is very important to restructure, rebuild and redesign the entire system with a focus on nurturing the whole child, developing good skills, and ensuring that children get access to the various resources and learnings that enhance their education as well as personality development.
- Students should first all try to identify what’s worrying them in their schedule. They should try to talk to their loved ones, friends, parents, etc. In this time of the pandemic, the comparison should be kept away. Individuals should try to be active. Students should try to be realistic and try to identify their problems and struggles. They should try to look after themselves and analyze their personality to understand what is worrying them and what is not.
This pandemic has posed serious threats before us in various fields.
Different people are going through different feelings and it is completely okay to feel that way. One should only try to channel their emotions whether good or bad in the right direction and become more productive. Meditation and Mindfulness help us to stay calm in the storm of problems. One should try to maintain a routine and a schedule and try to carry out their daily activities in the same way. A report of UNESCO shows about 320 million students of the entire world are impacted by this pandemic.
In this time of the pandemic, it is very important for us to make ourselves strong both physically and mentally. Hope this article will help you to cope with your stress and has been able to lessen your stress.
Dream big and Work hard.
All the best !!!
