COVID-19 has affected education changing the way of learning\nas we know it. This situation has affected about 1.6 billion learners in 190\ncountries and all continents around the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the circumstances, the education sector all around\nthe world is forced to adapt to adequate learning methodologies to prevent\nstudents from being vulnerable to infection of the virus. The most common\napproach by education service providers is online learning methodologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But of course, the method has its flaws, however, it is the\nbest possible method followed by educators globally. In a developing country\nlike Sri Lanka, a noticeable number of students tend to have a hard time\naccessing online resources. Connectivity\nproblems, inability to afford the data cost, and not having a suitable\nenvironment in their homes to attend an online lecture can be considered a few\nof the most common inconveniences students tend to face. This includes having a\nlack of technical knowledge to access online resources too. However, this issue\ndoes not apply to students related to the ICT field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The above reasons, lack of engagement during online\nlectures, and many other similar reasons can increase the rate of dropouts from\nprograms exponentially. Additionally, there are career-related skills that you\ncannot quite gain from staring at a screen or referring to study materials.\nLaying out the facts, education during the pandemic is indeed a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, \u201cThe policy brief: Education during COVID-19 and\nbeyond by United Nations\u201d which was published in August 2020 suggests that\nstudents should have equal rights when it comes to education and explains the\nimpact on education due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Academic Division and the Training & Development division of IJSE are currently employing a versatile method to avoid the above-mentioned complications and to accommodate the learning needs of every single student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This advanced process includes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n The current academic statistics of the institution indicate\nthat the drop-out student rate and the under-performing student rate have been\nsignificantly reduced. Additionally, the drawbacks that remote learning methods\nhave been minimized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This process requires lots of manpower and serious COVID\nprevention measures to ensure that the physical sessions will not put the\nstudents or the academic staff at the risk of getting infected. That said, IJSE\nput the quality of education first despite the circumstances. The challenges\nare for people to overcome and let\u2019s not let COVID affect your education, your\nfuture nor the future of the country. We at IJSE wish every success to all the\nstudents out there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" COVID-19 has affected education changing the way of learning as we know it.
