She was disappointed that I didn’t get first class, so I took a vow to make her proud someday,” he says.
And now she is! Parthiban secured a first-class in not only two master’s degrees in law alone — property law, human rights, and environmental law, but also an MBA (part-time). “My mother cried when she sat in the front row as I received my medal for MBA first rank,” he smiles.

Education Faces Tests in World of Change

Last year, the world faced something it wasn’t prepared for. The pandemic had not only got the better of the world order, but it had also disrupted the domain of education like never before. So much so, the impact of the catastrophic change is still continuing in 2021. The worst part is the fact that things don’t look quite promising till now. Almost every academic institution is being operated via remote access. As a result, there are several challenges coming in the way of an otherwise seamless global education system.

For example, a student, in today’s world, needs to buy expensive gadgets such as Smartphone devices and tablets if he/she wishes to follow up with daily classroom lessons. Reason? Things have suddenly gone virtual in full effect. According to a recent survey, the worldwide closure has impacted more than 60% of the student population, thus leading to long-term social and emotional downturns.

Thus, in an effort to help the scenario with further improvements, focus on reading this blog, explore the major challenges faced by the education system during the pandemic and what remedial measures can be taken to make a difference down the road.

Here’s everything you need to know.

1. Disruption in a smooth flow of communication

Communication is essentially the primary factor behind seamless learning methodologies. If you are not connected to your educator in the way it is supposed to be, you cannot expect to be a part of a healthy learning drive. According to a IKEA case study, Stacy James, a student of Computer Science, was exposed to massive upheavals pertaining to disrupted communication.

She was supposed to appear for an online exam. Right after a few moments of the exam commencement, her internet connection went for a toss. As a result, she was forced to sign out of the exam portal and waited for more than an hour for the connection to resume.

There are more such instances around the world which has caused and still causing a lot of trouble for the students, as well as the educators, in terms of maintaining a seamless communication funnel.

Let’s find out the remedies to fix such issues.

à Academic institutes across the globe must come together and take initiatives to streamline remote accessibilities in a better way.

à All students and educators should be intimated by the authority to ensure ethical and safe usage of communicational devices such as phones, tablets, laptops and the likes.

à Every online communication should be acknowledged in the right manner. Teachers should practice being prompt in sharing notifications and news.

à On the other hand, students should make it a point to acknowledge the message as soon as they would receive it.

à Any form of delay in communication leads to further delays and result in a major blockage in the funnel.

So, the idea is to monitor daily communication, acknowledge all messages and notifications, and abstain from surrendering to any form of disruptions.

2. The digital space is still new to many

Even though digitization has made its presence felt long back, few things are yet to be regulated, honed and understood by many people around the world. Not only the students, but there are some educators who are still oblivious of the right use and technical functionalities of digital devices.

Now that’s where the challenge lies. Unless the entire world gets tech-savvy, streamlining the educational struggles might turn out to be one futile attempt. So, before everything else, we need to hone technical skills and leverage the digital space in the best possible way.

Here are some suggestions on the actionable points one can consider and implement in this context.

à The government or other authoritarian bodies across the world must take active steps in educating each and everyone to make optimum use of technology.

à Every academic institute should foster the use of basic technological devices such as desktops, laptops, routers and the likes.

à Academic researchers and regulating officers should encourage the inclusion of “Technology” as a serious sub-disciplinary area in the curriculum.

à All operatively active NGOs should take a step ahead in an endeavor to distribute, install and demonstrate basic technological devices across all remote areas.

3. Educators cannot get around to everyone

In today’s date, where the world is under lockdown, most educators are seen to complain about not being able to get around to every student individually. Prof. Martin Wills, accounting assignment help expert associated with Allessaywriter.com, and guest lecturer at a reputable institute in Chicago, says, “It’s been a while I haven’t seen my students and I miss explaining them new lessons in a way I used to do. Now, either my students miss out on important class lessons or I miss out on delivering the same constructively.”

Now, this is a serious concern. Even though one can always fix the communication l gap, roping in a huge batch of students and getting them all together under the same roof is certainly no child’s play. This calls for the sector of education to be a bit more organized in its approach and get over the trying times in the following manner.

à Introduce the idea and encourage students to harness the functionalities of group video calls.

à One can carry it out via advanced applications such as Google Duo, Zoom and the likes.

à If you have a batch of 20 students, split accordingly and urge them to stay connected on either of the aforementioned apps.

à If virtual communication is a problem in terms of stable internet connection during an ongoing video call, then sign up for Skype audio calls.

à One can turn off the camera (if it is at all not needed) and carry on with the audio calling feature.

à That way, a weak internet connection can go easy on the platform as it eradicates the humongous data usage involved in video calling.

Parting Thoughts,

While these are some of the notable challenges and remedial aspects related to education during the pandemic, you can surely cultivate and implement other strategies. Lest we forget, our aim is to gift the young generation an academically prosperous tomorrow. No matter whether the pandemic gets the better of us or other challenges come crashing out of the blue; we should never back out.

Cheers!

Are English speaking courses helpful for learning English?

There are people who learn any language with ease, be it English or French, or German. At present, it is important for everyone to have complete knowledge of the English language. Especially, when it is about speaking in English because everyone you will find around you will communicate in English only. The reason is quite simple it is a global language and to succeed in your life, one must learn English speaking.

There are different ways to learn English speaking. Like, such as communicating with others in English, practicing English speaking every day, learning new English words, and many other things. But it is always told that the best way to learn English is to join an English-speaking course. You will find several English classes both online and offline, so you can join them with ease. But the question is are these English Speaking courses helping in learning English or not? Let’s discover how the English speaking courses are helping people improve their spoken English.

 

Overcome the challenges that you face in speaking English

At times, it happens that people are well aware of the English language and they do well in written English also. But when it comes to speaking English, they fail. They tend to make mistakes, use incorrect grammar, and are not able to form correct sentences also. But when they take the best online spoken English classes, they can overcome these challenges. The tutors try to find out the obstacles they are facing while speaking English. They try to know why they are making mistakes while speaking English and help them to correct those mistakes. They make it easier for these people to speak in the English language by communicating with them in English. Also, by rectifying their mistakes then and there only by telling them where they are going wrong.

 

Develops confidence in people to speak English

Whenever we learn anything new or something which we are bad at, we hesitate to do it. When it comes to speaking English, many people face this problem. They lose the confidence to speak the English language in public. Because they feel that people will laugh at them or make fun of them for speaking wrong English. When one joins the basic spoken English course, they meet other people who are also not good with English speaking. The tutor involves all the students in different activities to make them vocal. They try to make them speak without hesitation so that they can speak in front of anyone. It helps in building confidence and makes people speak in English in public places also.

 

Make them fluent in English by using different activities

Be it with the help of extempore or debate or any word building or scrabble, the tutors use different activities for developing English speaking skills. They are certified tutors who know well how to guide people to speak English fluently. By not joining English-speaking classes, you may be able to learn the English language. But when you will have to speak it with fluency, you may fail. With the help of an English teacher online in India, you will also be able to learn new English words which are quite common these days. Your tutors will help you to stay updated so that you do not face any problems in speaking English.

So, now you know how beneficial the English speaking classes are for you and why you should take them. But remember, if you will join the wrong English classes, then you will not be able to learn proper English speaking. We recommend you to go for Awal English classes so that you can learn English speaking in the best way.
