Though the pandemic is quite under control now, recent surveys discussed its after effects on education. Teachers are now concerned about addressing the emotional needs of students struggling after a long period of pandemic-induced remoteness. Teachers are also concerned with succeeding and abnormal years that have caused learners to fall further behind.
Survey revealed the student failure rate at the start of this year was dreadful across the world. Furthermore, measuring the effect of the pandemic on students is very difficult at this early stage. However, researchers, teachers and educationists agree nearly a major part of the students have been impacted by the pandemic in some way, even though each country navigated balancing wellbeing and learning differently.
The Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University estimated that one-fifth of American students were enrolled in districts that sustained virtual learning for the majority of the 2020-21 school year. Needless to say, schools struggled immensely to overcome the technological hurdles of constructing virtual classrooms on the fly and this is still prevailing in many countries of the world. Due to these reasons, students are missing so many of the basic and foundational skills altogether.
This situation is concerning for parents as well. Research released jointly by Lurie Children’s Hospital and the University of Chicago showed that 80% of parents said their children have spent significantly less in-person time with friends, while 63% of parents said their children spend more time alone and on screens for non-educational purposes.
Researchers, teachers and school leaders are working hard to overcome this problem.
I am incredibly thankful to the guidance, support and learning I have received during the B.Ed. program. The comprehensive and informative course content and the valuable feedbacks during assignments has not only helped me to expand my knowledge, skills, and understanding about early childhood education but also made me confident to pursue a career in teaching.
My journey with EBU through the Doctorate in Business Management has been transformative. The program provided a comprehensive understanding of advanced business concepts, strategic management, and leadership techniques. Studying market dynamics in the tire industry in Kuwait has enhanced my ability to analyze competitive landscapes and make informed decisions. This has boosted my confidence in leading teams and navigating complex challenges. As I advance in my career, I’m eager to apply these skills to drive innovation and growth within my organization. I’m grateful for the enriching experience at EBU and look forward to making a positive impact in the industry.
As a graduate of the Master of Arts in Teaching degree program, my experience was transformative. The program gave me a deep understanding of educational theory, effective teaching strategies, and practical classroom management techniques. Through rigorous coursework and hands-on experiences, I developed the skills and knowledge necessary to create engaging and inclusive learning environments. The program also emphasized the importance of ongoing professional development and staying abreast of educational research. Overall, my Master's in Teaching degree has empowered me to make a meaningful impact on students' lives and shape the future of education.
A useful and practical course that did assist with my teaching and learning.
I had a great experience learning and pursuing Doctorate as I chose the subject that I am so much interested in. I enjoyed reading and learning from the course work. My mentor was throughout supporting and encouraging. I can't thank him enough for providing me the clarity for the research paper I submitted and for creating actionable goals for me.
