Future of schooling post pandemic


Pandemics have always desolated and scourged humanity, often bringing major changes in the course of human life and history. The Bubonic plague had a devastating effect on the population of fourteenth century. This plague killed about 30% to 60% of European population , yet by bringing major changes in the lives of the rest. As the population shrank, and laborers became scarce, higher wages were offered and demanded which alleviated the living standards. More profitable use of land and resources was practiced by offering wages in form of money instead of labors, hence decreasing serfdom. 

Covid-19 since its outbreak has affected and paralyzed human life and daily dealings eminently, locking and blocking almost all type of industries and businesses completely, where governments are duressing social distancing and curfews. However, this pandemic has changed our lives in its own way.

First of all the virus as it has stopped everyday tasks and routine working of every organization, the need and importance of managed IT and Technology in every business has become discernible. All those organizations, who were working with modern tools and operating systems to deal their customers and employees, had no time to switch all their tasks online, making their employees to work remotely. However, those who kept neglecting the need of IT and Social media involvement in their lives are going through a very hard time managing their businesses and maintaining them to avoid terrible loss.

In addition to that, the future of schooling seems quite different and more technology integrated after this veracious virus outbreak. This might change the manual pen and paper work entirely by switching the assignment and submission of daily tasks using PC, laptop, tablet or any such sort of technology. This option seems to work with one of the Sustainable Development Goals, as working online is more environment friendly as compared to that of traditional pen and paper work.

Furthermore, this situation has alarmed and prepared all the educational institutions to continue the online learning practice, for the reason to avoid any further delays under the same circumstances, if present in future. This might be the start to online schooling, yet it is the first milestone to further advancement in the field of IT and technology.

The Past Of A Journey!

Ever wondered what a one-day trip could be like? Well, let me take you through one. Not having had an adventure for quite a long time, my stomach started growling, as it was also bored of being the only victim of my boredom (eating, of course). And I was also bored of eating, given that I was mostly eating to evade boredom.  So, one dawn, it dawned on me to pay a visit to my sister's without breaking the news to anyone in the house. Hold on!! I am not alone on this journey; we all have a crime partner in our lives who stands with us through the silliest of things that we do ( here I'm dismissing the fact that most of the things that we do are not normal anyway). So, boredom and the urge for an adventure compelled us to plan to go out and have fun.  Boredom makes us do the craziest and most creative of things.   As I was asleep like a vegetable, dreaming about being on a fantastic trip, someone shook me out of that slumber to the real world, reminding me of the fact t...

A day in the shoes of a teacher

“ If only I could switch places with Ms. Stacey, life would have been so much better ”, muttered Mona, ripping another paper out of her notebook, where she was trying to solve a question of linear Equation, since 3 PM. “ I bet it’s a very cushy job, sitting on the other side of the camera, explaining the concepts through a few questions, and assigning the rest of the work to students. Just playing sage on the stage and chilling the rest of the day, gossiping over cups of tea, just a bit of working online and that’s it!! I wish I could do this instead of sitting and solving these sums, which seems to be a never-ending task. ” It was 9 PM, finally after completing all her assignments, Mona laid down in her bed, looking outside the window of her bedroom. The sky presented a wonderful sight, Moon came to the sky as a mother comes to sing a soft lullaby, to ease her children’s weariness, gracing the sky as if it had some bright idea. “Brrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...

Spanner in work

  You all might have heard about the راستے کا پتھر and may have come across many spanners in works.  For instance, a black cat crosses your path of superstition, forcing you to turn back home, as there might be a terrible danger awaiting you. On the contrary, as you cross its path, the cat might be equally terrified and prone to getting into an accident. Another راستے کا پتھر that you may encounter and combat in your life is the necessary nuisance; sneaky relative. Not necessarily poor, but your relationship can be as poor as the beggars around the nook. Now, whatever you do, it's their utmost duty to intervene and have their unnecessary say about you and your life choices. Bear with them and keep your life as invisible as you can. These are superstitious spanners, hauling your growth, task, or work. However, there is another extraordinary kind of spanners in work that you may bump into. And believe me, bumping into these spanners will make your heart bleed. In fact, they may ...
