    Online learning has become the primary source of education due to school closures caused by the pandemic. Replacing physical classrooms with virtual learning poses many challenges, especially for low-income families who often have limited access to devices and internet. Teachers also struggle to shift from in-person to online teaching without proper training or experience with virtual instruction. A major barrier is lack of a uniform digital infrastructure, leaving students and teachers facing unprecedented difficulties. To rebuild an inclusive, post-pandemic education system, policymakers must consider the voices of educators and conduct studies to understand challenges in both rural and urban areas.

    Online Learning and Challenges in a New Norm of Education

    We used to consider online learning to be a supplementary tool for school or college education,
    which has now turned to be a primary source of learning. In shroud of current pandemic, education has
    been hit particularly hard by the current pandemic, leaving our learners impacted by school closures
    locally. Most of the schools were entirely shut, of which physical classroom were replaced. Such
    interruption in learning activities could lead to deep, long term implications, especially for children of low-
    income households.
    Replacing physical classes with virtual learning is not as easy as it sounds or appears. In reality, we
    often read of incidents where more than one child shares the only smartphone in the family to connect to
    online classes while yet in some remote locations, parents have resorted to setting up classes outside the
    home.
    It is undeniable that the new normal has posed challenges for teachers who forced to shift their
    approach overnight from in-person teaching to virtual teaching. They have to adapt to the intricate digital
    world and imbibe the technical expertise. Many experienced teachers who have grown accustomed to
    conservative methods, typically face-to-face interactions, are finding themselves incapacitated in
    effectively delivering lessons online.
    Technological prowess is still a challenge can be tackled. Worse still, the biggest barrier that online
    learning encounters in our country is the access to online learning, either due to lack of connectivity or
    limitation of hardware.
    Without a uniform digital infrastructure, both students and teachers are facing unprecedented
    challenges and will continue to do so. Experts have predicted that the new normal is here to stay with the
    way we live, learn, study and experience life taking on a literally different approach, post pandemic.
    The first predicament to rebuilding an education system that is inclusive and fit for a post-pandemic
    new normal will be to bring educators to policy table. Voices of despair are to be heard by policymakers.
    Proper studies of real experience happening in the country, from the remotest village to the most advanced
    cities are to be conducted.
    The second challenge will be to rebuild an education system based on data about learning needs,
    comprising and social and emotional needs.
    Nonetheless, policymakers, educators and technology companies have a rare window of
    opportunity to take us radical action. There is a clear need to call for new education system through online
    learning by looking at our population’s connectivity.
    The recent statistics showed that our households’ access to computer is still unsatisfying. Yet,
    having access to smartphones and internet doesn’t guarantee that our nation is ready for the online learning
    challenge for the decade.
    Ergo, the online learning platforms must look out for attention span and design engaging content
    presented in a simplified manner to cater to primary and even secondary grade students. This not only
    motivates students to open up but also encourages them to participate with the use of multiple and varied
    teaching aids.
    The current pandemic has created a long-lasting impact on the world and its outlook to almost
    everything. Online learning is able to redefine the education system of decade if we approached it in a right
    manner.
    What the pandemic has taught us? Apparently, it instilled us the significance of resilient and
    adaptive societies. All in all, the education could fit for its objective more tremendously with the use of
    technology.
