Corona virus pandemic has rapidly spread over all around the world affecting almost every sector in India including automobiles, retail, agriculture, etc. and last but not least is our education sector. As we all known the Government has shut down all the schools, colleges, and all the major examinations are postponed. Also by seeing the present scenario there is lots of uncertainty of reopening of schools and colleges.

Let’s discuss how COVID-19 affected education, how schools are taking to online learning, and how those changes are affecting education all across the world. The first case of COVID-19 found in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and soared swiftly across China and spread to 215 countries as of 1stSeptember 2020. According to the World Health Organization, 30,949,804 global cases were reported, including 959,116 deaths, as of September 21, 2020.

The impact on corona virus on students is in the form of boredom and loneliness, less outdoor activities, exercise time, less social gatherings with their friends. Due to closure of schools and colleges, schools taking up online learning, students feel sophisticated and lock in their houses. Simply sitting at home has increased anxiety among students as well. Due to all these reasons it may cause irritation among students. Shifting from face -to- face to online class is one of the most challenging task for both students and as well as teachers. Computers and IT equipment are now in heavy demand from parents, children, and other relatives who have to work from home. But do you think online classes are a better option? Small kids must be understanding things through this? Obviously NO .Is it possible to teach practicals and labs, music and art courses online? What will happen to those students whose courses cannot be taught online? The quality of online education is a critical issue that needs proper attention.

Conclusion
Students are badly missing the vibes of school, colleges their friends which is the most important aspect of student life. These are the things which help them to overcome their anxiety stress which is now almost impossible for them. Also, The health and safety of students and staff should be the top priority.

Seeing the positive aspect of this lockdown it has given new opportunities to students and teachers to learn and adapt the technological environment. These different modes of education such as video conferencing and online meetings has shown us how the corporate world looks and provided the students to feel it more closely and enjoy the lifestyle of virtual world. We believe online learning was necessary in order to maintain social distancing and to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
