- By Stuti Rajeev

 An unparalleled, excruciating epizootic COVID 19 came up with long-term closures. Like other fields, this closure became a problem for the education system also. Then digital education eventuated as a boon and took forward schooling along with safety. Life of kids as well as of youth is embedded with modern gadgets and the internet, which became their weapon against this unheard-of pandemic, to keep their studies unhindered.

Digital education provides multiple ways of interaction between mentors and learners, they can express themselves through video calls, voice chats, and messages. Digital education provides variety, world-class teaching, multiple educators instead of confining in few teachers and institutions.

Every coin has two faces, likewise, this digital world has a few disadvantages also. Being stuck to gadgets is harming the health of students. Digital education is helpful only in the case where a student genuinely wants to learn, as here a teacher cannot physically check whether a student is studying or not. Online exams are not that promising as access to each and every answer is a task of a couple of seconds on the internet. Every family is not that strong financially, to provide their children internet and gadgets. Internet quality is not up to the mark everywhere across the world, which is a must for online studies.

It can be concluded that the role of digital education was very significant with no second option in a devastating period of COVID-19, but keeping education fully digital further would not be a good option.

We can look forward to a bright future of education system taking online and offline teachings parallel, and using the one which is most suitable at the point. As changes are a must for the modern century to explore and innovate.
