The last two years have been the most dreadful ones for every one of us around the world. They are the worst memories and we are eager to shirk them off and get on with life. While many worried about their future, others were worried about their kids\u2019 future. It is logical as it was a scary situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still remember the time the lockdowns were announced globally. We are talking about 1.4 billion students across 190 countries! As many as 150 countries closed their schools completely. Initially, many of us did not even take it seriously. But only when the days of lockdown turned into weeks and weeks turned into months that we realized the gravity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, it was a 2-year break from everything! Companies continued functioning for a few weeks, and the schools and other institutions remained completely shut for over two years. What happened when the schools reopened after the pandemic situation lifted off? Let\u2019s read on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not Two Years of Break!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what many parents had felt. \u201cOh, my younger one has not even seen her school and she will be five next year!\u201d said a parent. \u201cMy son has almost forgotten how school was like pre-pandemic.\u201d Many parents had just felt that when the lockdown was still in place. \u201cIt\u2019s like one long holiday for them!\u201d said a parent. But, was it so? If you look at the loss of two years\u2019 worth of education, it is not worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what did the two-year break from education do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Learning Gap<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you look at the already poor community of people, they just got one more reason for not sending their child to school. Many families lost their livelihoods during the pandemic. This meant they were facing the option of living or educating and they chose the former without any doubt. Education can wait- this was the mantra many had especially when facing this challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, many people also realized that this kind of complete isolation of children from their education was not going to help. This also showed them that education has to continue whether there is a lockdown or not. They realized that the children were not just cut off from any kind of school education but even social skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why a few visionaries decided to go for online education. However, there was no clear idea on how to do that and everyone was at a loss. This was when the teachers and universities decided to use the basic tools available in the market to bridge the learning gap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
