THE NEW FACE OF THE UPCOMING EDUCATION SECTOR

Abstract:

The world has been through crucial circumstances during COVID-19, and this was one of the major influences in the rise of online learning and e-education. Contemporary times have been dominated by technology, and we can hardly imagine a life without the internet, smart phones, and computers because of this distance education can be easily available if one has stable internet connections. Students were exposed to online classes instead of traditional classroom settings when different nations announced lockdowns, school children and college students acquired knowledge via online lectures, and internet resources more than ever before. This study demonstrates how COVID- 19 was an eminent turning point in the field of education as the entire education sector was reliant on technological aids, we can perceive the undeniable effect technology will have on the future education sector. The paper discusses how the new face of online education may be successful in promoting more equality in society as online resources can be accessed easily, flexibly, and at a lower cost rate. Furthermore, the rising dominance of Artificial intelligence (AI) can help increase efficiency within the education system and there is a high possibility of increased interactions between AI and humans. The future trend of education may follow a hybrid learning model, where students have a mix of both online and offline education simultaneously. The first world countries may have the privilege and funding to build a tech-dominated education system, but the third world countries may find it harder to build up the proper infrastructure that facilitates e-learning and online education due to lack of internet access and economic stability.
