How Education Is Being Impacted by the Pandemic

As school and university staff learn how to convert their lessons to online platforms, both students and
staff are learning how to deal with remote learning and communication. Though technology has already had a
big hand in most school affairs, the new dependence on technology for every aspect of education is forced to
occur overnight —leaving many people struggling with technological difficulties, as well as coping with the
challenges of studying at home and learning how to construct a productive schedule outside of the school
environment.

Unfortunately, many families rely on the public-school system, not only for education, but for
necessities like food and childcare. With schools cancelled, many children are left without proper meals, and
parents are forced to take off work in order to care for their young children. Although many schools are
continuing online, many students do not have access to computers or the internet in their homes. Without the
proper technology, many students will be forced to miss out on their education until further solutions can be
arranged.

Younger children, as well as students with ADHD or other special needs, find it difficult to concentrate
to full capacity with online educational tools. Young children need the assistance of in-person instruction and
may find it difficult to concentrate in a typical frontal class conducted on a computer. Students with special
needs, who also rely on in-person instruction, may find it especially difficult to switch to online platforms.

These difficulties may require a more unique approach to online learning or may demand the extra
assistance of parents as these students navigate a new educational paradigm. Classes and semesters are
being delayed as staff and teachers acclimate to the new online platforms and try to switch their material to a
new teaching style. This includes learning how to use online tools, figuring out how to convert hands-on
learning materials or discussion-based classes to the new platforms, and possibly changing the whole
learning plan based on the inability to switch it over to an online platform
