Should Coronavirus pandemic stop our education system?
Definitely No!. In many countries today, school has been closed following an
upsurge in the recorded cases of Coronavirus infection per day. Students are
still at home and positively looking forward to that day when they will resume
back to school.
Different stakeholders including both in health and education
sectors have undergone various monitoring and surveillances on how often should
the school get opened, but their efforts look not fruitful in the sight of
students because their only expectation is to resume back to school. Should we now wait till the infection clear off the air before
the school get opened? Why not we take the advantage of alternative resources
right in our sight which is definitely the use of technology?
