Students in crisis: corona has massive impact on education

The coronavirus pandemic has impacted every aspect of daily life, especially education. The pandemic has turned students’ schedules upside down and is causing significant learning problems.

Many students do not have access to online learning platforms and webinars, while others have difficulty focusing on learning when they have to stay at home. The restrictions on social cohesion also mean that students have fewer opportunities to interact with friends and teachers, which negatively impacts their emotional stability.

School closures also negatively impact students with special needs, including those learning English as a second language or students who need support for mental health issues.

The pandemic has turned the traditional structure of education on its head, emphasizing the need to seek alternative learning pathways and more support for students and teachers so that students’ learning progress is not compromised.

The challenges posed to education by the coronavirus pandemic will be long-lasting. It’s important that students, teachers and parents have the resources and information they need to learn and teach successfully.

Restrictions on school operations due to Corona pandemic

The Corona pandemic has had a significant impact on school operations in Germany. Many states have temporarily closed their schools or severely restricted classes to contain the spread of the virus. Students suddenly had to switch to studying at home, which was a big challenge for many of them.

With the restrictions of school, many students have built up significant learning gaps. Many children and young people have major deficits, particularly in the subjects of math and German. Achievement gaps between students have widened because not all families have the necessary technological devices and a stable Internet connection.

Summer vacation courses were already offered in some states to catch up on learning. But restrictions on school operations due to the Corona pandemic have set many students back for the long haul. Educational equity in Germany is in jeopardy, as not all children and youth have the same opportunities for education and personal development.

It is important for schools in Germany to return to regular operation as soon as possible and for students to catch up on their learning. Digital learning opportunities must also be further expanded to give all children access to education. This is the only way to prevent the Corona pandemic from causing long-term educational damage and affecting students’ future opportunities.

The impact of Corona on students’ academic performance

The year 2020 was one of the most challenging times for students, as they suddenly faced a lot of difficulties with the outbreak of the Corona pandemic. With an abrupt switch to distance learning and the resulting lack of interaction with teachers and classmates, many students have been set back significantly and have had difficulty keeping up with material.

Another challenge was the lack of the necessary equipment and technology to complete the lessons from home. Many students did not have the necessary equipment to successfully participate in distance learning classes, which further affected their academic performance and made learning more difficult.

In addition, the Corona pandemic also had a significant impact on students’ education mental health, which in turn affected their academic performance. The isolation and lack of social interaction with teachers and classmates led to an increase in stress, anxiety, and depression among many students, negatively impacting their learning performance.

• Conclusion
• The Corona pandemic has had a significant impact on students’ learning academic performance, setting them back significantly.
• With the abrupt switch to distance learning and the resulting lack of interaction with teachers and classmates, many students struggled to keep up with the material.
• The lack of necessary equipment and technology, as well as the psychological effects of isolation and lack of social interaction, have further affected students’ academic performance.

Measures and solutions to support students in times of Corona

The Corona pandemic has led to significant limitations in the education system and many students have been set back as a result. In order to meet these challenges, there are various measures and approaches to solutions.

First, it is important to provide students with good technical equipment. Digital devices such as tablets or laptops are needed to enable online classes and communication with teachers and classmates. Financially disadvantaged students should also be supported in this process.

In addition to technical equipment, educational measures are also essential. Teachers can provide students with learning content and assignments through digital channels and offer online office hours. In addition, it is important to provide individualized feedback and support to ensure student progress.

Furthermore, support measures such as tutoring or additional lessons can be offered to provide compensatory support. Opportunities should also be created to allow students to socialize in order to promote togetherness and strengthen social skills in addition to the daily school routine.

• Technical equipment: provision of tablets or laptops
• Pedagogical measures: Online classes, office hours, individual feedback
• Support measures: tutoring, additional classes
• Social contact: Opportunities for exchange, communication and the promotion of social skills

Overall, it is important that all students are supported equally. Attention should also be paid to closing possible gaps in education and bringing all students back to the same level of proficiency. Good collaboration between schools, teachers, parents and students can overcome these challenges.

The impact of Corona on students

The Corona pandemic has not only impacted society as a whole, but has also greatly affected educational institutions. Students in particular have been set back significantly by school and university closures. Instruction was changed to distance learning or online instruction, which was a tremendous challenge for many students. They had to adapt to new technologies and learning methods without the usual contact with their teachers and classmates.

The social impact of school closures should also not be underestimated. Many students have difficulty seeing their friends and school community, which can lead to loneliness and social isolation. In addition, the pandemic has also led to financial difficulties for many families, which can impact school performance and access to educational services.

In light of these challenges, it is important that schools and universities take appropriate measures to help students cope with the difficulties caused by the pandemic. This includes providing support for distance learning and online learning, as well as creating opportunities for students to engage socially and stay in touch with others. In addition, schools and universities should ensure that financial difficulties are not a barrier to access to education.

• Overall, it remains to be seen how the Corona crisis will affect educational institutions and students in the long term. There is no question that the pandemic is a significant challenge for education, but it also presents an opportunity for innovation and transformation. It is important that we learn the lessons of this crisis and strive to create a better future for all students.
