Covid-19 and its impact on education

The pandemic has changed the dynamic of our education system. As it is no longer safe for students and educators to gather in close-contact environments, schools have turned to the internet for continuing student-teacher interaction and imparting education. With this overnight change, we have observed numerous setbacks in children's social and behavioural development. The inability to freely interact and play with their peers in a physical environment hinders their social skills as well as their physical well-being. However, there have been some benefits to the internet-oriented education that otherwise would have taken a long time to explore. They are learning important things like cyber-security, AI, robotics, coding, art integration, and cultural innovation. Watch Ms. Nita Arora, principal of Sri Venkateshwar international school, talk about how Covid-19 changed the education system.
