Answer 1

COVID19 the pandemic negatively affect the higher education. There is a creation of high level uncertainty among the students regarding the future. Most of the classes were cancelled and close the doors of campus. In developed countries the educational institutions started their online classes. The travel restriction badly affects the international students. Most of the famous institutes started online courses for the students which can be acquired through a mobile phone. In developing countries and underdeveloped countries this online courses were not possible and this make inequality among the students itself. Now the education system is moving towards the virtual system. This affect the students who have no measure to access this technology.
On the other hand, the practical sessions in the higher education system was not practical through online modes. Thus the applicability of the theories was not preferred. This retards the practicability of the written theories. In online classes, the universities were just taught out of the box than the syllabus which is besides the interactive and virtual learning. Most of the final year students were uncertain and tensed about their future under this condition. There is a hope among the students that the current situations were maintained and the normal situation will be regained in the next academic year. The high level accessibility of the technology increase the demand for technical students and new developed system and software were used. Just think of the schools in rural areas. They have low accessibility for online classes and virtual learning.
