Online education and their Impact



Education is a journey from converting human being into being human. It is a learning process, experiencing ideas, understanding the behavior of anything. On the another word, process of receiving or giving systematic instruction at school or university. Education leads human being to find out their goal, ambition and the good path for their future. Education can be formal or informal.

As we all know, whole world are suffering from Covid-19(corona virus). On this, whole education institution as well as system has been stop. Approximately 30% of student are locked at home and cannot join school and collages for their further studies. Students as well as their parents   are suffering from it.

After one month of lockdown, schools and universities are planning for distance education or online education. So that student can learn or study from their own home. Online education is a flexible instructional delivery system that encompasses any kind of learning that takes place via the Internet. The quantity of distance learning and online degrees in most disciplines is large and increasing rapidly. Schools and institutions that offer online learning are also increasing in number. With the increased availability of the Internet and computer technology, students are able to access information anytime and anyplace.

That is also a good idea to give education to students on the basis of distance learning. But what about the student of Himalayan and middle hill reason? In the context of Nepal, nearly 40% of people are using internet. But the people of hill and middle reason aren’t getting the facilities of the Nepal telecom tower where as the there is no possible of internet. In Nepal there is 77 districts among them only 40 district are getting proper internet facilities. Student of their can take distance education but 37 district student cannot get the education. So to reduce unfairness to the student, distance education is not appropriate at this condition.

On the university, student of 77 districts are there. There is no possible to give online education to the whole student studied in universities. Because Internet is not available to all the part of the Nepal. On this situation of the country, people are not able to buy food for their survival how can they took the internet service for the education. So, government and universities should give priority for that. Government shouldn’t think about the distance education but also think about the possibilities of that.

The positive impact of online education are:

  • Student can take education in a short time.
  • Because of internet, it reduces money for the travel.
  • Student can do their assignment and submit through web.
  • Student can learn on their schedule time.
  • Student can discuss their problems to their desired professor.
  • Student can learn their subject matter through different sites.

The Negative Impact of Online Education are:

  • Online learning does not enable students to interact with their fellow student. This aspect is, especially when absorbing the lesson fully.
  • Limited interaction between instructors and students
  • Technology can sometimes become unpredictable
  • Internet become as an addiction so that student cannot focus on study.
  • Students who are away from internet, they can’t get education on time. That became the unfairness to the student

Research has proven that technology could change education negatively through four paths: deteriorating students’ competences of reading and writing, dehumanizing educational environments, distorting social interactions between teachers and students and isolating individuals when using technology.

Concept of providing online education symbolizes the growth on information technology. This is a good concept but on this suffering condition it will be unfair for the student who are in rural area. So, Government should give priority for the student of rural area also and should think about the possibilities also. Providing awareness program and giving knowledge about the impact and non-impact of internet would be best for all the students from primary to higher secondary student. All the schools and university should be responsible for their students. So that student can use the internet in proper way.

At the last but not least Government should think the student whole over the country and take the decision for online classes. They should take the responsibilities of that all students are getting education properly. If not there should not be the unfairness on education.
