Problems faced by students in the current educational situation:
As we know that education is the backbone in the development
of any nation, it is a fact that the countries with an effective system of
education leads the world, both socially and economically. The key to
development is a good education system.
One of the many things that have taken precedence during this
lockdown is children’s education, especially when it comes to higher education.
What is the impact the current lockdown will have on the admission process, next
semester, and campus placements? What are the suitable college options amidst
this lockdown? These are some of the questions that run through our minds each
day.
Institutions have initiated easy online accessibility in the
face of lockdown – use this time wisely to learn about colleges and
universities that are offering courses of your choice. Access their websites,
read their reviews, and gain information from education portals. As studying in
foreign universities has become problematic due to the current situation,
explore domestic institutions that are offering curriculums with international
standards, or have a tie-up with global universities. Many institutes in India
have collaborated with foreign universities and colleges providing options
to pursue a semester abroad without moving away from home permanently.
As colleges are moving to online learning, there will be
more opportunities to explore classes before finally enrolling at an institute.
Colleges and universities grant students an experience of academic life to help
them make their decision. Being part of the curriculum, be it even for a short
duration provides the students with an insight into the faculty, the methods of
teaching, and the academic environment. This will also help to understand their
connections in the relevant industry, and to check for guest speakers that may
be a part of these online lectures and classes.
Connectivity through social media amongst today’s generation
has added a new layer of interactivity between students and institutes. For those
curious applicants, many colleges are conducting live sessions with their
current batch of students as hosts where they cover all aspects of the
institution from student life, the food at college to extracurricular activities.
It’s an interesting initiative where students get to discover more about their
possible university and think about the years they will spend on that campus.
Today’s college students lack motivation and a genuine
desire for knowledge and are becoming more and more infatuated with their
smartphones.
It is interesting to
note that, in a way, while bowing their heads to their mobile devices, these
students are at the same time yielding to the fruits of their own learnings.
The famous German philosopher Kant once said, “Living without goals is like sailing
without a compass.” The lack of goals in learning means that learning has lost
its general direction, and it is not clear what it is for and how to discuss
the benefits of “true” learning.
We understand that this is a difficult time for the
education sector and educators and research professionals across the globe. We
have always believed that education connects us, and at this time of
uncertainty, this is more important than ever.
They are committed to ensuring that people all over the world
have access to education and remain connected. We hope that through new
approaches to our work, we will continue to provide opportunities for students,
researchers and educators around the world during a difficult and unpredictable
time.
At the moment, they are working hard to deliver as many
activities as they can while listening and responding to the relevant government
and health authority guidance in the countries in which they operate.
Supporting Current Students During the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Crisis
As COVID-19 (Coronavirus) causes closures and other disruptions at institutions nationwide, current students face major impacts on a number of fronts. First, their safety from the disease is the most important consideration, and campuses must take whatever measures are necessary to ensure the immediate health of students, staff, faculty, and the broader campus community.
At the same time, your current students are in the midst of their college careers, and you want to ensure that as many as possible move forward toward completing their educational goals. It’s important to shift your assistance to them along with the adjustments they have to make, such as moving to online instruction or providing online support services.
In addition, considerations for students who will be adversely affected by the closings of dorms and dining halls, work disruptions, and other changes in their living situations need to be made as well.
