Online Learning Emerges as the Best Learning Tool Amid COVID-19 Crisis

The coronavirus pandemic has not only affected millions of people around the world but has also disrupted almost every sector including the education sector. With the educational institutions shut for almost 5 months now, had it not been for online learning, the academic year would have been completely compromised.

As we know, India has one of the largest education systems in the world. The education of millions of students would have been at stake if the educational institutions have not come up with new and more effective methods of teaching. There has been a paradigm shift from traditional classroom education towards online education.  This shift has not only helped students to continue to learn from the safety of their homes in the times of global pandemic but has also introduced the world to a new way of learning.

Today, online learning has emerged as the best learning tool amid the COVID-19 crisis.
