A Study of impact of COVID-19 on Education Sector

ABSTRACT

All learning institutions pre-maturely closed on 20 March 2020 and all Indian citizens advised to self-isolate mean quarantine in a bid to control the spread of COVID-19. The closure of schools, colleges and universities not only interrupts the teaching for students around the world;the closure also coincides with a key assessment period and many exams have been postponed or cancelled. Internal assessments are perhaps thought to be less important and many have been simply cancelled. But their point is to give information about the child's progress for families and teachers. The loss of this information delays the recognition of both high potential and learning difficulties and can have harmful long-term consequences for the child. Results of this research paper revealed that there is likely to be a drop in the pass percentage of Secondary & Higher Secondary school students in this year's examinations. © 2022 University of Stockholm.
