The Coronavirus (Covid-19) is causing global public health emergency and the great challenge for the contemporary world as the general public particularly the students are facing immense difficulties to continue their routine life.
Battling second wave of coronavirus, the federal government has once again announced closure of educational institutions in a bid to protect the students from Covid-19.
Pakistan’s coronavirus tally surged to 392,356 while over 340,000 inflected people have recovered from the disease so far across the country making it a significant count with over 90 percent recovery ratio of the affected patients. But unfortunately, the country’s death toll due to the disease has also reached to over 7,900 which is an alarming situation and the parents with school-aged children were worried.
It is pertinent to mention here that the educational institutions in the country were reopened on September 15, after nearly six months closure which was imposed in view of the outbreak of the pandemic.
All the examinations, scheduled to be held in December 2020, the authorities have decided, will be cancelled and held after reopening of the institutions in January 2021.
The pandemic has badly affected the performance of several sectors including education.
Closure of schools across the country was, on the one hand, demand of the parents but on the other, the students are concerned about their studies, which were badly interrupted due to the fast changing situation as the coronavirus has immensely effected the lives of students.
Nowadays, millions of students are studying from home which means every student should have access to computers, printers, reliable internet connection besides uninterrupted power supply, but the financial constraint have compelled a large number of students to compromise on their studies, which might cause a loss of their academic year.
