In the midst of the news of the beginning of schools in a phased manner in more than 160 countries of the world, preparations are being made to open schools in different states in our country from this month, so we have to make a fresh strategy in this regard. Will have to get involved. Since the cases of infection have come down to a great extent in India, work should be done to run offline schools. Actually, online education is not proving to be completely effective and successful on the ground. There are many intricacies in this.
In a survey conducted by ‘Local Circles’ in 294 districts of 24 states, it has been revealed that 67 percent parents are in favor of opening schools. Whereas only 19 percent parents are in favor of online education. This means that online education is not being accepted by the parents due to lack of system. However, different guidelines are being issued from time to time for the struggle of online education. Recently the Ministry of Education issued guidelines for parental involvement in home-based learning. In this, the parents have been told to cooperate with the children at the time of online education.
On the other hand, the court has kept the orders of private schools to charge development and annual fees from children on the basis of online education for the academic session affected by Kovid. With such things, this anomaly persists that despite there being no systematic structure of online education, it is being imposed on the children, because we are far away from the online education system and its real performance and returns. That’s why this online education is proving to be just ’emergency remote teaching’. In practical terms, there is a huge difference between online education and this emergency remote teaching. Online learning is put into practice after thorough preparation and research. But this time it has been implemented under compulsion without knowing the ground reality. It has many flaws. One is it is expensive, secondly it is quite impractical for private educational institutions to charge fees despite not using school resources and thirdly, technology is not accessible to every student.
It is also very important to understand that just having a smartphone is not online education. For this, a wide platform and technical equipments play an important role. Since it is so important to take care of the health of the children, it was necessary to keep the school closed. In such a situation, children are trying to get digital education at home through mobile or laptop, tablet, TV etc. But school children are deprived of digital education due to non-availability of accessible internet service, non-availability of tablets, projectors etc. or non-availability of e-content in remote areas.
Although the idea of online education is not new and its use is already going on in India in the field of distance education. But on a broader scale, this trend is negligible in our school educational institutions right now. Meanwhile, surveys have revealed that only one-third of parents can make a solid arrangement for digital education for their children. Therefore, in order to implement it successfully, it is necessary to keep in mind that this online education system should be transmitted seamlessly in a low cost, affordable and accessible form. Now since it is the responsibility of the government to provide free education to the children in government schools, it should also ensure to provide the necessary equipment for digital education free of cost. But the big problem is with private educational institutions. It cannot be denied that the scope of private educational institutions is also very wide. Offline education in private schools is already so expensive that not everyone can study there. In such a situation, it is very expensive to mobilize the necessary equipment in the era of digital education.
In the early stages, there have been many practical obstacles in the way of providing online education in schools, such as lack of access to smartphones, computers, laptops or tablets for all teachers and students, internet, broadband is not easily available, data speed Non-availability, lack of knowledge of online educational tools, non-digital libraries, non-availability of e-content etc. Because to get digital education, people have to take many devices, which are very expensive. In such a situation, there is a great need for tablet, PC, projector, internet and especially cheap data and high speed internet to get education sitting at home. At present all these facilities are proving to be very expensive. This is the reason why most schools offering digital education are more expensive than regular schools. For this reason, getting digital education is not just about everyone. With traditional book education, you can study anywhere at home or school. Whereas digital education requires proper infrastructure not only in school but also at home in cheap broadband. On the other hand, better management and strict plans are needed for learning under digital education. It is definitely possible that some percentage of the number of students and teachers may also buy resources like computers, laptops etc. in future, keeping in view the demand of the time, because it is not possible to study through the smartphone itself. But there is a big problem of those students who come from weak income group. It is not less than a challenge for their parents to pay their fees,
In such a situation, it is not a matter of everyone’s ability to buy expensive equipment.
Another side effect of digital education is coming to the fore. In fact, on the pretext of studying online, children also start watching various types of games and other wrong content in smartphones or tablets. It is not necessary that all parents understand this. In such a situation, it becomes a little difficult for children to develop well towards studies. This is also the biggest disadvantage of online education. At the same time, its widespread side effects on health are also coming to the fore. Online education has a bad effect on the eyes of the students and their eyesight deteriorates. Not only does the eyes get bad, but it also has a bad effect on the brain and face. This is a big problem. Therefore, our policy makers have to understand that online medium cannot be a substitute for offline in any way.
