The Protagonist on Education During COVID-19
Abstract
The education system has been altered by the Covid-19 pandemic. Examine how the Covid-
19 epidemic has changed how teachers and technologies are used. Everyone has been put to
the test in some way by the present pandemic. Be it medical professionals, the executive
branch, the police, or anyone else who has seen the Covid-19 pandemic. To stay viable and
advance, every organisation has had to innovate on its own. This has also applied to the
educational field. The closure of schools and colleges has caused a significant disturbance in
this industry as well. Nearly 1.6 billion schoolchildren in more than 190 nations have been
impacted by the pandemic. 94% of students around the world have been affected by school
and college closures, with that number reaching up to 99% in nations with low and lower-
middle incomes. More than 32 crore pupils in India alone have been impacted by the
closures. Not only are the figures shocking, but younger minds have also had to adapt to
different teaching methods.
