How education can continue in uncertain times - Evolution E-Learning Software
We need to reimagine and rethink education.
Many parents are under-estimating the effects of unfinished learning because these effects are not immediate, they will only show on the long-term.
Schools should be a little more innovative about this but they need the support of the Ministry of Education, various social wellbeing institutions and technology-based institutions to guide in a safe and well thought recovery.
An evidence-based approach should be in place by the schools themselves and the Ministries and government agencies in charge of education.
An Evidence-based approach means the Ministries and government agencies should start trying out approaches that can allow student to continue learning and in turn mitigating the effects of covid on education.
Approaches like re-modeling the school year and the school terms to allow for continual learning and yet mitigate the covid effects; the ministry can distribute the school year over several months with resting breaks that take over a month and then the students return to school, study for another month and go back home. This can be done while strictly emphasizing the SOPs like mandatory masks, washing hands and Social distancing.
A month break will help in observing and taking care of those who have been affected by the virus.
Schools and institutions of learning should/must embrace technology solutions that allow for distance learning.
In ensuring a safe recovery, schools or institutions of learning will need to either innovate their own technology solutions or embrace existing and tested methods of learning.

An investment in technology solutions at this point in time is not something that schools should ignore or brush off, it is a necessity.
Technology-based approaches will also help students with disabilities to easily cope with the vast changes in their education and continue with their learning processes.
The disparities in the number of students who can afford online learning vis-à-vis the number of students who cannot afford online learning can be easily reduced by allowing and encouraging those who can afford online learning to embrace it fully whereas those who cannot afford it can be allowed to attend schools but in controlled school year with SOPs strictly observed.
Schools should partner with social service organizations like NGOs that ensure social wellbeing.
One thing about the pandemic is that its effects will present and increase the cases of mental health especially among students, this can be mitigated if clear physiotherapy and psychotherapy methods by experienced professionals are included into the school schedules. This is where the Social Organizations come in.
What these social organizations bring to the table is a vast experience in all these methods of therapy and the lack of physical interactions with others is definitely going to have an effect on many of the students.
These measures can work for any school or institution of learning and embracing them is a start in modelling a safe way of continuing with education.
