THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON EDUCATION
Abstract
Global education systems have disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting over 1.6 billion students worldwide. This paper examines the diverse impact of the pandemic on education, including the challenges faced by teachers, students, and parents, the digital divide, assessment and evaluation methods, mental and physical health concerns, and the adaptation of educational systems during and after the pandemic. The study also explores the disparities between developed and developing countries in addressing educational challenges and highlights the long-term implications for the global education system. By analyzing the pandemic's effects, this paper aims to provide insights into building a more resilient and inclusive education system for the future.
