A Study On Covid 19 In India And Its Potential Challenges On Education System

Abstract

The COVID-19 has caused chaos on a global scale. Every aspect of our lives has been impacted by it. Nearly all educational institutions around the world were forced to close as a result of the urgent lockdown and social isolation procedures for the COVID-19, which caused the worst disruption to the whole educational system. Due to this catastrophe, more than 200 nations and about 1.6 million students were impacted. Globally, the Novel Coronavirus pandemic spread. It has had a significant impact on the educational system, which is crucial in defining the destiny of the nation. People were exposed to psychological stress because of the lockdown that the Indian government imposed, forcing them to stay indoors. However, approximately 75 nations declared school closures by the middle of March 2020. Schools and institutions were temporarily shut down for an indeterminate period of time to flatten the curve. The academic gap was caused by this action. By promoting e-learning and online education, the GOI made the necessary steps to close this gap. India's educational system is more accustomed to inperson or physical instruction. The majority of teachers and students are unprepared to use technology in the classroom, and there is also a lack of practice and motivation, which makes pandemics more difficult to manage. These difficulties have also given educational institutions the chance to improve their technology infrastructure and skills in order to handle the Covid-19. The impact of COVID 19 on the Indian educational system, elearning, and potential challenges of COVID 19 on education are the main topics of this study. The study's objective calls for descriptive research in nature. Both primary data obtained through the use of questionnaires and secondary data are utilized through various reports, journal, published data and magazine and government officials.
