Abstract:

Covid -19 pandemic knocked the door of our schools and colleges in March, 2020. Little did we know the impact it would lead in our life. Educational institutions continued on the pretext that it is like any other calamity that engulfs our city, bringing everything to a standstill for a brief period of time. COVID-19 has affected a large number of students across states, class, caste, gender and region. The shutting down of schools and the decision of shifting traditional classrooms to digital platforms is not only increasing learning inequality among children, but also pushing a large number of children out of school due to the digital divide. Technology enabled classrooms became technology driven classrooms. Textbooks and notebooks to a large extent was substituted with electronic gadgets – phones, laptops, desktops and tablets. As e-learning becomes the "new normal", the authorities have been taking steps to make digitization of education accessible and affordable for all. This paper aims to study the impact of Covid-19 in education focusing on the learning outcomes, curriculum transaction and evaluation. The data was collected from 200 teachers from various schools and colleges. The data was analysed statistically. The findings of the study revealed the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on learning outcomes, curriculum transaction and evaluation.
