Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on quality of education

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic is a huge challenge to education systems. Social distancing to curb the Covid-19 pandemic has caused suspension of classroom teaching in all educational institutions. Government permitted colleges and universities around the world to shut down their campuses indefinitely and move their educational activities onto online platforms. Medical students do not find online classes as effective as the traditional classroom teachings; it could be made more interactive and productive by introducing interactive and brainstorming sessions complementing the conventional face to face education. Owing to financial constraints, students are not able to meet the necessary requirements for effective online learning. The present study aimed to explore the effect of Covid-19 on the quality of education.
