 In India, around 250
million students were
affected due to school
closures at the onset of
lockdown induced by
COVID-19. The pandemic
posed several challenges
in public and private
schools which included an
expected rise in dropouts,
learning losses, and
increase in digital divide.
 POSITIVE IMACT OF
COVID ON EDUCATION

Any change that is so disruptive is also likely to

bring with it some new opportunities that will
transform the higher education system worldwide
and especially in a country like India which is
planning to bring about a planned reform in this
sector.
 ENHANCED DIGITAL LITERACY

Digital literacy refers to an

individual's ability to find, evaluate,
and clearly communicate
information through typing and
other media on various digital
platforms. It has been increased
during covid 19 pandemic.
 MOVE TOWARDS BLENDED LEARNING

• Educators and students

have just participated in a
sweeping and sudden shift
in the use of technology to
learn. The result — a
broadening recognition
that a blended learning
approach can provide the
opportunities and
flexibility.
 ENHANCE IN THE USE OF SOFT COPY OF
LEARNING MATERIAL
Since blended learning will
be the new format of
learning there will be a push
to find new ways to design
and deliver quality content
especially due to the fact
that the use of learning
management systems will
bring about more openness
and transparency.
 NEGATIVE IMPACT OF
COVID ON EDUCATION

There are a number of areas of potential risks

for global education.
 PASSIVE LEARNIG BY STUDENTS

• The sudden shift to online

learning without any
planning -- especially in
countries like India where
the backbone for online
learning was not ready
and the curriculum was not
designed for such a format
 UNPREPARED TEACHERS FOR ONLINE
EDUCATION
• Online learning is a special
kind of methodology and
not all teachers are good
at it or at least not all of
them were ready for this
sudden transition from
face to face learning to
online learning.
 CHANGING FORMAT OF STUDENT
RECRUITMENT
• The risk of losing students
is so high that they will
need to re-look at their
admission practices,
admission criteria and the
overall recruitment
process itself which will
include, new methods of
outreach and application
process itself.
