The COVID-19 epidemic has crossed national boundaries and is still spreading. It has impacted individuals of all nationalities, educational levels, economic levels, and genders. However, the same cannot be said for the repercussions, which have disproportionately impacted the most disadvantaged.Education is no different.
Students from affluent circumstances, with their parent's support and a want to study, may be able to make their way beyond closed school doors to alternative learning options.
When schools closed, those from low-income families were often left out.This issue has brought to light a number of flaws and inequalities in our educational institutions, ranging from a lack of access to the internet and computers required for online education, to the supportive settings required to concentrate on learning, to a mismatch of resources and needs. Higher education has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic, with institutions closing its doors and nations closing their borders in reaction to lockdown measures. Although higher education institutions were eager to replace face-to-face lectures with online learning, these closures had an impact on learning and exams, as well as foreign students safety and legal standing in their host country.
Perhaps most significantly, the issue raises concerns about the value of a university education, which involves both instructional content and networking and social possibilities. Universities will have to rethink their learning environments in order to stay relevant, such that digitalization extends and complements student-teacher and other interactions.
