HOW EDUCATION SYSTEM CHANGED GLOBALLY DUE TO PANDEMIC
                     HOW  EDUCATION  SYSTEM  
CHANGED  GLOBALLY  DUE  TO  
PANDEMIC?
Introduction
• As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded this year, necessitating a range of unprecedented social 
isolation and safety measures, barely any aspect of daily life was left unaffected. 
• One area which has certainly seen considerable changes as a result of COVID-19 is the 
education sector.

The Acceleration of Digital Learning 
• Teaching staff internationally were forced often with little warning to familiarize themselves 
with a range of online platforms in order to deliver entire courses on a fully remote basis.
• In turn, online platforms like Google innovated to meet this new demand, quickly 
incorporating functions such as video-conferencing to their Classrooms service.

Accessibility and Economic Considerations 
• The pandemic represented a financial hit for universities who usually depend on foreign 
students as a significant income stream.
• For educational institutions that generate income for example, from student 
accommodation this has resulted in a financial loss.

Changes to the Student Experience 
• Students who have enjoyed academic achievements during the pandemic have also suffered 
from a lack of in-person opportunities to celebrate them. 
• Graduation ceremonies, as with so many other events, have generally moved to Zoom. 
Likewise, high school students finishing their final year have been deprived of prom, a 
culturally-ingrained milestone in many countries.

Widespread of digital technology
• However, the rollout of widespread virtual learning has also been recognized as posing 
money-making potential for universities around the world. 
• There is the opportunity to make higher education available to previously-untapped 
demographics using digital technology.

Less expensive for some range of students
• The traditional model of in-person education is thought to be more expensive and labor-
intensive to provide than online alternatives. 
• That means remote learning could be offered at a reduced rate to a wider range of students, 
while increasing accessibility to underrepresented groups in academia.

A change in the purpose of learning
• The course of learning and the way curriculums are taught may change. Aspects that were 
once considered fundamental to education may be revised to largely accommodate life skills 
of the future.

The utilization of innovative methods of education
• Learning is the acquisition of knowledge, but it doesn’t have to solely occur through age-old 
methods that do not utilize the highest potential of the brain.
• Approaches like integrated learning and experiential learning, with greater implementation 
of technology, will power the future the education in schools.

A greater relationship with technology
• In the face of a crippling pandemic, technology has emerged as a major lifesaver. 
Communication is a major key to our interconnected existence and technology is the driving 
force that maintains our connections.

What does this mean for the future of learning?
• While some believe that the unplanned and rapid move to online learning with no training, 
insufficient bandwidth, and little preparation will result in a poor user experience that is 
unconducive to sustained growth, others believe that a new hybrid model of education will 
emerge, with significant benefits.
