Education provides as knowledge of our society environment and homes our skills to change them for the better. It helps us to acquire knowledge skills, values and attitudes to make informed decisions, lead meaningful lives, and undertake active roles in contemporary society. Student can get this quality education in school with face-to-face interactions with teachers and classmate.

We have been facing a crisis since the start of 2020 because of COVID-19 pandemic. It has been wreaking havoc across the globe upsetting our lives and livelihoods. People were forced to stay at home including the children. Students were unable to go to school due to the fear of getting infected of the virus. When the educational institutions have remained closed, online / distance learning is the only alternative to just continue educate the children.

Online educational is still out of reach for some students, they have limited or no access to computers and internet connectivity at home. Some struggling family don't have the means to buy their children gadgets to use for their online class. Parents are also busy in their works and they don't have time to teach them if they don't understand their lessons. These are only some of the difficulties we are facing during this pandemic.

Despite all the difficulties or problems we are facing in online education, we have to pursue this for the welfare of the students. The government should have adequate financial resources allocated for education. Teachers must be sufficiently trained for offering online class and parents should find time to assist their children. The COVID-19 pandemic is a test for us, but it also gives us an opportunity to do better and provide quality education to all.

    We may have been gone through a lot during this pandemic, we should always strive for the better. School has been rough for all of us. Not everyone can afford gadgets nor have stable wifi connections, which makes it harder for us to learn. Despite the negativity, COVID-19 is only a test for us to take and learn along the way.
