Online Education Programmes During Coronavirus
The COVID 19 pandemic was one of the biggest disasters that the people of this generation have come across. With the rising health concerns, protests going across the world, and the frontline warriors fighting a daily war to keep everyone safe; the last few months were no less than a physical manifestation of the word ‘mayhem’. Now, amongst all this chaos and disorder, there were several silver linings. But one of them, in particular, was rather unimaginable.
With factories shutting down, the economy degrading, people losing jobs, survival, etc. the continuity of education for children didn’t cross the minds of many. Thus, when the entire education system switched to digitalization, it turned out to be a huge sigh of relief.
How does online education programmes help?
Before COVID, “learning should not stop” was probably just a slogan. But it turned into something more with learning taking a digital route to ensure continuity and eliminate any disruption due to COVID. Children from across the world switched to mobile phones and laptops and their education continued without a stop.
And the good part was, it was not just the schools who switched to Online Learning, many After School Learning Programmes and Early Childhood Learning programmes too followed up.
Was that beneficial?
One of the leading after school programmes that switched to online learning was Kumon. Now, if you don’t already know, Kumon offers English and Math ability development programme. Both of which offer a unique opportunity for children of different ages to learn beyond their school curriculum and take their learning in their own hands.
Now, with no more travelling to and from school, reduction in playtime and so on, the pandemic was a great opportunity for kids (already a part of Kumon and those interested in enrolling) to make the best use of their time and hone their learning abilities. The availability of Online learning by Kumon allowed these kids to benefit from the learning programmes.
Now, even though the prospect of an effective COVID vaccine is in sight, the pandemic is still not over. And thus, if you want your kids to benefit from the customized learning programmes offered by Kumon, don’t think twice. Visit your nearest Kumon centre (while following the COVID safety measures) and ask about an online learning programme or visit their website for details.
