Today we will discuss the impact of corona-virus on the education sector, especially on online tuition, coaching centers and schools. In the month March, corona-virus came to India and start putting impact on all sectors from last of march and it continues till now and Chimes tells that till 2020 at-least the impact of corona-virus will continue put an impact on the worldwide economy. The education sector is also a part of it so definitely they also have to face this crisis and every on educator, teachers, trainer, Private tutors and all related employees must have to go through this calamity.

Impact of COVID-19 on "online tuition"

1st we are discussing online tuition only because in this pandemic "Online tuition" is much discourse topic. Online tuition segment is improved nowadays. after the month of march according to google traffic of online tuition doubled. Looking at children's safety many parents had decided to go with online tuition or other ways of online learning. But many tuition providers had switched their business model or teaching pattern and tried to join the online tuition segment. so if we will talk about the improvement of wealth in online live classes segment then we must have to keep in our mind that competition is also much higher now for educators, teachers and trainers. Everyone who was serving in the offline education segment they switched to provide their services online. Before I had told you that the traffic of online classes is doubled but now the provider is around 10 times more.

How Coaching Center or Tuition Center in India Got Effected

We had seen some positive and negative signs of online tuition in India. Now let's see Impact of 

COVID-19 on tuition centers. Only a few percentages of parents are capable to provide their child with a special learning pattern of one to one. So a mass is always dependent on coaching centers only. But after lock-down in India, all coaching centers are closed now and as per the order for government no any coaching center can start before 1st august. So, students have to find some alternative to the tuition center. As per alternative, many companies in India had started to provide online live group tuition. But somehow they can't replace the pattern of traditional learning. According to CEO of GURUSIKSHA Mr Dipak Jha, it's not easy to replace traditional learning with all new learning patterns. we can put some impact but every child don't have a laptop or tab at their home. It will take time to change the mind of parents and mould them towards current learning patterns like visual learning or live group classes. Post-lock-down also it is an expectation that every coaching center can't run their institute like previously they were doing. But hopefully, we are looking for an uptrend in the business of coaching center and various other institutions very soon.

How Schools Are Operating in India

Like companies providing online tuition with various tools and software, every school including govt. and private schools had started their classes with online learning. Including junior classes also schools had provided online live classes to students but after a few days many schools that stopped that in live classes and switched to recorded video classes. If we will talk about the business of school their is not much impact on their economy. But in learning and growth of students, there is a big gap has been recorded and every parent is scared to send their child to school. It will be the biggest challenge for school to start operation after lock-down with all necessary precautions. Overall all sectors and segments got impact because of COVID-19. After the start of unlocking in India, everyone is hoping for much growth in the market. In this lock down situation, every citizen of India is in anxiety.
