According to Education association, “over half of the world’s students were affected by Worldwide closures observed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO,36)”.

School Closures: The pandemic led to school closures affecting approximately 1.5 billion students across 188 countries during the first 12 months. Even as late as March 2022, 23 countries, home to around 405 million schoolchildren, had not fully reopened their schools.

 Many students, especially the most vulnerable, are at risk of dropping out of education altogether. For instance, the number of out-of-school children in South Africa tripled from 250,000 to 750,000 between March 2020 and July 20211.

•  COVID-19 acted as a major market disruptor, leading to unprecedented levels of innovation. Many businesses had to reinvent themselves to adapt.

Elementary, middle, and high schoolers alike have become more advanced in technology. The pandemic has played a positive role in uplifting the digital and technical knowledge of professionals, it has widened the use of various social media platforms in sharing  information

independent Learning: Students now know how to manage their workloads to work more independently with less direction, which prepares them for college and future jobs.

Increased Parental Involvement: COVID-19 single handedly changed the way many U.S. families approached their children’s education, as homeschooling became more popular and schools switched to online classes.

Better Relationships: Building better relationships inside and outside the classroom thanks to new online resources will help prepare young students for their futures, and will allow educators to help on a more personal level when needed

Adapting Social Activities: Roughly two-in-ten talked about their renewed appreciation for social activities. Most in this group said participating in large gatherings and in-person visits with friends and family were more important to them now than before the outbreak.

Embracing Technology: People are embracing technology more than ever to support all aspects and consequences of isolation.

Mental Health Awareness: The pandemic has set the tone for a “new normal” of health and well-being, with a focus on mental health.

Reduction of CO2 and other polluting emissions: With travel restrictions in place, there was a significant decrease in pollution. This has had a positive impact on our environment.

Reduction in crime and road accidents: With fewer people out on the streets, there was a decrease in crime rates and road accidents.

Adaptation to remote work and learning: The pandemic has changed the way we work and learn. Many of us have adapted to working and studying from home.
