Abstract
Over the years the global economy, including India, has undergone a profound change and observed a pioneer role of innovation and technology in every sector. Rapid technological dissemination has seen human or physical touch points being replaced by digital interface. With digitization happening everywhere, it becomes all the more important for the education sector to adapt it in order to keep pace with the challenging world. With the onset of the global pandemic of Covid-19, the only option left with the education sector is to switch to online classes for its smooth and continuous working. This research aims to investigate the challenges that are faced by the students and their level of satisfaction from these classes. The study is based on primary data collected from 700 students of various colleges across Universities in India. The study employs regression models, crosstabs, and various other descriptive statistics for analysis of the data. The findings of the study suggest that the students face a lot of glitches while learning from the online mode of education and would need time to adjust. The research also provides an insight on the scope and the future of online education.
Highlights
The temporary closure of schools, colleges, and educational institutions over the last few months has impacted more than a billion children globally as an effort to contain the contagion of Covid-19
Education did not move to cessation; instead, it has moved towards online mode
The problem is that the longer the closure of these institutions, the more is the potential loss of educational prospects
Summary
The temporary closure of schools, colleges, and educational institutions over the last few months has impacted more than a billion children globally as an effort to contain the contagion of Covid-19. The problem is that the longer the closure of these institutions, the more is the potential loss of educational prospects. It leads to a latent loss of human capital and enfeebled economic opportunities in the long run. This crisis could not stop education, though it has brought many changes to it. The use of technology, mainly the online classes and electronic textbooks, is currently considered as the best solution to continue with the working of this sector
