COVID-19 has resulted in an unprecedented and unexpected upheaval across all industries, with the education sector being no exception. In such trying and uncertain times, society and enterprises to try and counteract the disruptions caused by this pandemic, and move forward through remote work solutions and work-from-home setups. Education has also ended up having to opt for a similar route, with most of the schools and colleges going online to cater to their quarantined students. But, due to the vast gaps in internet access and digital privileges in India, there are various limitations that arise. Hence, it is imperative that government entities and stakeholders arise, see this opportunity, and use this to improve the current public education system and try to make it more egalitarian and accessible. Challenges Arising from Online Education Digital Gap: Online education may not seem like a big deal for many middle and upper-class students, but it is highly inaccessible for students from the lower middle class and for people below the poverty line. Many financially-backwards students, who do not have good access to resources like computers, laptops, PCs, internet connectivity, smartphones, would not be able to attend classes from home. Commercialization of Education: With digital resources going mainstream and online education becoming the norm, our post-pandemic era has a significant possibility of having corporate houses, technology companies and educational institutions working together to fund and develop education as a whole. Sure, this will accelerate the education sector’s growth, but it will also aggravate the current commercialization of the education sector, and end up excluding independent tutors and teachers. Setting up Online Education in a Post-COVID World Making Online Education a common good: The Government, both the Centre and the State, should start granting universal access to technology and make the public education system more feasible. As part of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), private players can be motivated to involve tech-based organizations to provide and make e-learning resources accessible and available to all students, especially in government and lower-income private schools. Right to Education Act: The definition of the Right to Education needs to be expanded to include and promote online learning. Doing so will result in the correct addressal of the importance of online learning and the value that open and uninterrupted access to knowledge and information brings. Adding Value to the Teaching Profession: Digital innovation provides a remarkable opportunity for the democratization and upheaval of the current education system. There is a rising need to encourage conditions that are favourable towards frontline educators, which give them flexibility and autonomy to act collaboratively. Protection of Social Spaces provided by Educational Organizations: The traditional classroom models must be modified to accommodate online learning. However, on the other hand, schools and other training areas as a social space (where a student can learn academic and social skills) is very valuable. Ensuring Scientific Soundness Within the Curriculum: This would be the right time for us to revise our out-dated syllabi. As society struggles against silly superstitions and misinformation, this move will help empower the next generation against similar problems.
