Pandemic and Education in Nepal- Gorakh Chand

 

Namaste to everyone

We Nepalese are not only the person suffered from Pandemic. But whole world is suffering. School and college education is not important than that of human life.  So most of the people are shouting for online classes, Even using cellphone . I am not opposition of online classes of university level and for students interaction who themselves eager to learn. But the internet data package and availability of cellphones is not as expected. So it is difficult to cover all the students of classes. Without knowing the syllabues and subject matter how can they attend in examination and get pass?
In another side,  the online classes for school level is not possible for all over the country. It is only possible in city area. But some people arguing that " Something is more than nothing " ,But  I say "Something can not be gained only from online classes conducted by school , we can gain knowledge from  home like working in field, garden, kitchen etc.?"
Now a days we can learn from google, YouTube and other sources. But the students should not be evaluated as their specific syllabus of respective classes, but should be evaluated as lifeskills.
The online classes of university level are quite good for leaning and sharing but should not be evaluated the students depending on their response on ZOOM apk. Because many different hidden abilities and creativities are to be ignored. Just sharing is fruitful and use online classes for sharing knowledge but not teaching tool....  Teaching and sharing is most different things. Methodologies, materials and the activities are need to apply in different subject differently. But in online classes it is not possible.
If online classes would achieve the goal of education , why there was qualified and trained teacher appointed? Why there is dramma of live class observation before entering in service ?
Where there is no electricity there is no TV available and radio can't make a small child understand. If this types of system is implemented,It is clear that it is not for the poor but for the rich people. It is another way to increase poverty, unemployment and social class gaping.
So  I need to say is that, The initiative of university and school is good but not at all. The government and respective authorities should think about this seriously and take an action.
Otherwise the the education system will be only looting vessel.....
So be careful.
Thank you....
