Online education, an alternative for countries with economic difficulties?

Greetings again my dear friends I hope you are all well, if we express that education is the fundamental pillar of all countries on the planet, no one would be surprised, because it is so, so the field of education is one of the most essential area that every country must take care and attend with great care.

We could say that there are fundamental areas for our subsistence such as health, food, which is very true, however, my dear friends, by taking care of the field of education we are at the same time taking care of the above mentioned areas, it is not a secret that future professionals graduate from the different educational facilities, therefore, there are multiple positive reflections when taking care of the educational field.

Many countries globally are going through strong economic crises, especially due to the effects of the Covid pandemic, however, many countries were already going through this difficulty before the arrival of the pandemic, we know that almost the entire planet paralyzed its activities, including education, all this because of the enormous risk of contagion, that is, applying logic.

Now, before going into detail in reference to the issue raised, we can provide some flashing lights, and relate in general with some possible positive and negative aspects of online education, we must always consider that the education of our young people will always be linked to their environment, ie everything that happens outside the classroom, and the other, there is still a long way to go and detect more effectively the pros and cons of online education.

However, based on my experience as a teacher, I can express some of the aspects related to online education, this from one extreme to another, for example, we live in constant coexistence, and therefore, we need to socialize from any point of view, it is no secret that during the student stage children and young people develop skills related to this aspect, and with the interaction at a distance would decrease such effect, so this type of education could become a possible barrier at the time of socialization management.

Under this format, students may become less participative, in addition, they may lose some work dynamics related to their way of learning, among many other factors that influence the student's learning when they do it online.

Everything we do as humanity presents the two sides of the same coin, that is, they have opposing aspects, and the implementation of this format does not escape from it, for example this type of online format gives us greater security in terms of disease transmission, protecting both students and their entire family, we can also say that under this scheme it is possible to take advantage of technological tools more thoroughly, also teaching that such applications have a valuable utility.

There are many aspects to highlight on both sides of the coin, however, the main thing is to emphasize that this type of format to function properly the education system must be prepared and equipped with all possible tools, that translates into investment, it is not enough to say, online education and do nothing more, the future is tied to the use of technologies, and even more education, so if a country wants to implement this format necessarily has to adapt its entire system, or make it mixed, perhaps this format saves governments infrastructure maintenance, but it is necessary to create another type of virtual structure, therefore, a country in economic crisis whatever their choice of format of education, should focus on prioritizing areas, where education should always be.

Until another opportunity my dear friends.
