The Educational System during this pandemic

There has been a lot of arising matters as a result of the unexpected pandemic that befell the country and world at large and everyone has decided to fight it in different ways.

Due to the outbreak of the pandemic, there has being a total lockdown in major parts of the country and also activities has been forceful stopped and also caused people their job as company owners see it at an opportunity to lay off people using lack of 
funds to pay salary as the excuse which has led to some further annoyance from the public as people can’t go about their daily activities and earn their daily living or monthly earnings. 

Aside from the effect it has on the different sectors of the country the one important sector it has affected greatly is the educational sector. It is said that education is important but in this trying times the saying doesn’t seem to be true as students who are now at home as a result of the lockdown which affected schools are developing lack of interest to school work.

This pandemic has done more harm than good in the educational sector as a lot of students are no longer concerned about school and its activities because according to them “the vibe isn’t there”. As a result of this pandemic, schools especially universities resulted into online classes using different social media platforms like; Zoom, Google meet, YouTube live, WhatsApp etc. I’m a student and definitely I can say for sure it’s not been easy having to attend online classes when convenient and not. There are different kind of learners/students; the one that learn faster when taught virtually, the one who learns with physical class that contains gestures and more explanation, in this case it’s only those who learn faster on virtual classes that tends to benefit leaving aside those who find it difficult to assimilate properly. Not forgetting the primary school students and secondary school students who aren’t advanced in technology, some have been home for the past months without going to school and definitely when school resumes instead of advancing in class they would definitely go back to their former classes which would be slowing down their schooling.

Unlike the international countries that have access to WLAN, Nigeria on the other hand doesn’t even have it in their budget especially not with the state of light we have in our country. The blessing of this is that the educational system has decided to embrace the technology and in that case has aided the advancement of technology also student has used this opportunity to learn things outside school work which on the other hand tends to move their mind away from their studies and start to think of the ways to use the skills they learnt and how to start earning.

Although, there have been rumors of school resuming June ending and early July which for one isn’t certain or concluded by the Minister of Education, which has led to schools starting their examinations online and enforcing the online classes on students not minding the challenges that comes with it like; data, network, lack of seriousness from students etc. This pandemic has made schools world wide divert to technology and discover other means of virtual learning and teaching.  

To end this, in as much as some students wish to stay at home and relax and do other things aside from school work some are also tired of the online classes and are not ready to take it serious even with exams of some schools fast approaching while others has been concluded, there is still need for schools to resume as soon as possible to gain the seriousness of some students back.

Thank you for reading.

THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN.

  Hey lovelies, Happy weekend. So, to today’s discussion, I’m sure you’re wondering what exactly it's going to about well think less, stay tuned and read on 😉 . The fear of the unknown is usually something that gets in the way of a lot of us getting things done, trying new things, going outside of our comfort zone and everything new or different. It’s not easy to do things without being scared of what could happen, the what if’s and all the clauses, one sure thing is that this all brings about anxiety. I usually say something, everything in this life is a risk, sleeping is a risk but it doesn't make us not to sleep, driving is a risk but it doesn’t make us not to drive, working is a risk but it doesn’t make us stop working, business is a risk but it doesn’t stop us from investing and going into other lines of business and having several streams of businesses  and the list goes on and on of risks in life that we still engage in. A lot of the people some of us look up to or hea...

SIGNIFICANT HALLMARKS OF GOD'S MESSAGE.

Hey lovelies, Happy weekend, I hope we’re all doing well, staying safe, and trying to get ourselves back together(emotionally), let’s not forget to keep our hopes, faith and strength up no matter how hard things get, it might take longer but the land would be green ❤️ . Last weekend I wrote about “When God Speaks” and the importance of the spiritual sensitivity to know when God is talking. Today you are going to reading about how to know it’s God speaking. NB: this was inspired by my daily devotional  🤗 . It's important to hear from God or communicate with God but it’s also important to know when it’s God who is speaking. There are five significant hallmarks of God’s messages to us. They’re a means of determining whether the voice we’re hearing is truly the voice of God. If you have a question about whether a message is from God, line it up against these criteria’s: 1.  The message must be consistent with the Word of God, the Bible.   God will never tell us to engage in ...

TRACING THE DOTS.

  Hey lovelies, Happy new month 🤗 , I pray for more of God’s evident presence this month in Jesus name. Don’t forget to always pray without ceasing. Today’s topic of discussion is sounding like some CID    or Sherlock Holmes kind of thing  😂  but I hope after reading this you try and trace the dots if you feel like you’ve lost the touch. Tracing the dots or in a better way getting it right.  In life as humans and as Christians we default, of course, we aren’t perfect so we have to default at a point in time or the other. Defaulting isn’t the issue but knowing when and where you’ve defaulted and correcting the default or making sure it doesn’t happen again is always the issue. A lot of times we hear people say things like “I used to be a prayer person before but now I don’t know what happened, I can’t even explain” does that person sound like you? Are you feeling that way?   At any point in life where you have to say these words have it in mind t...
