I agree with several of my colleagues that it has had a negative impact on my career at times.
COVID-19
pandemic has wreaked havoc on people from all areas of life, particularly students and teachers. The
impact of shuttered schools and children kept at home with little or no access to learning has been
usually terrible for schools, students, and parents.
The good news is that the crisis and the response to it have exposed flaws in educational systems while
also providing chances to reform school education into a more resilient and robust paradigm. This
pandemic isn't the first, and it won't be the last, to strike our city, province, country, and all of the
world's schools. Neither a top-down approach from legislators, reactive modifications to teacher
preparation and in-service training, nor interim improvised arrangements by under-resourced school
heads like us, and in many public schools with hundreds of teachers, are the solutions.
All parties must be involved in the development of strategies that can be implemented both in the short
and long term. In order to make informed and sustainable policies to prepare for the new normal in
school education, a discourse across all levels of education is necessary, important, urgent, and critical.
——in the present and in the future. There is now a brief window of opportunity for us to learn from
each other, both inside and outside our walls. As we move forward in solving post-COVID-19 concerns,
we must enlist the help of professionals in building a conversation of expectations and standards.
ALLOW US TO ACKNOWLEDGE that the world will never be the same. This is also an opportunity to
address the rigidities in many models' education systems, which were exposed as a major part of our
learning experience as a result of the epidemic.
