Virtual classroom

Rapid changes and the increased complexity of today's world present new challenges and put new demands on the education system. The huge surge in COVID-19 cases has led the entire education system to shift from physical classrooms to virtual classrooms in the form of online education. There has generally been a growing awareness of the necessity to change and improve the preparation of students for productive functioning in the continually changing and highly demanding environment. Although many people still consider traditional universities as the best way to achieve knowledge, online learning proves to be a great alternative. No doubt this is imperative but the government must look into the problems being faced by poor children who have no access to digital technology. Also, for hours, children are glued to the screen which creates problems and frustration besides health issues.
