The World of Education Threatened by Covid-19.

Until now the Corona or Covid-19 virus pandemic still haunts the world, as we know the spread of the outbreak occurred due to direct contact with patients or sufferers of the virus. Medical experts around the world also have not found an antidote for the deadly virus.

Not only does it threaten human life, this scary virus also threatens various aspects of human life throughout the world. The whole world is currently still having problems to stop the spread of the Corona virus, even many country leaders are taking steps or decisions and policies that are difficult to deal with these problems. However, each policy is very difficult, but must be carried out by the government in each country, one of the policies that greatly influences various aspects of life, namely the limitation of social interaction, where this limitation will certainly have a big influence on various aspects.

One aspect that is affected by the corona virus pandemic at this time is in the field of education, where the government leaders of the country have to take time off teaching and learning activities in schools and universities. In order to break the chain of the Corona virus spread of schools and universities in the holiday, students and students are instructed to keep studying at home and guided by teachers who are also at home. The unpreparedness of all elements in education is also a big obstacle, a change in the way of teaching and learning from face to face or offline (outside the network) to online (in the network) requires readiness from all elements, starting from the government, schools, teachers, students and parents It is recognized that governments in various countries have loosened the education assessment system adapted to emergencies provided that learning can continue without the burden of achieving competence. So that many teachers use from using existing technology.

But the teaching and learning process system by utilizing technology will also face big problems for teachers and students, not all teachers and students are able to master technology, limited facilities and infrastructure for both must also be considered, the internet network must also have access to both and require funds to the process. Therefore the Corona virus pandemic is indeed causing negative things for education around the world. Like it or not the whole world for now must adapt to this situation, there is no teaching and learning process directly makes various countries take steps to do the learning process through online.

The online learning process is also considered to be very heavy and very dangerous risk, especially for elementary school students. Some of these risks include cyberbullying, also negative content that is spread on the internet has the potential to endanger children.

The UNESCO website states that this corona pandemic threatens 577 million students in the world. Corona pandemic is indeed a tough test for all nations, testing the ability of all nations to be able to take wisdom by continuing to strive and endeavor to find solutions to every problem that exists. May the Corona Virus on earth be destroyed quickly.

Hopefully these posts are useful for us all.
