Since the nationwide outbreak of COVID-19, the Government has mandated the nationwide lockdown. This unprecedented scene has not just distorted the lifestyle of adults and working professionals but has also impacted the normal learning procedure of the students.
With the educational institutions being shut, the students are bound to stay at home despite the unfinished syllabus and forthcoming examinations. Besides the mandatory shutdown of educational institutions across the country, the Government is left with no choice but to postpone the board examinations and even worse, to call for a strict nationwide lockdown. The possibility of further extension for the lockdown might be imposed to resist the COVID-19 exposure.
E-learning is a new way forward – In this situation of dread and unpredictability, it’s not only the board exams and the syllabus, but even the future of students remains at stake. “So, what we’re gonna do now?” It’s the question that most of are getting concerned about. Indeed this pandemic is tragic but we cannot denounce it as a shortcoming on our path to advancement.
