MODERNISM has brought about globalisation of education, where newer tools, techniques and processes emerge to aid and assist the process of teaching and learning development. The yesteryear of 2020 was a watershed in the historical chronicles of education which brought the world to a standstill due to Covid-19 pandemic and hastened about a paradigm shift in the teaching and learning process.

Over the world, what followed afterwards was the adoption of online mode of teaching. The pedagogical transition from in person teaching-learning in the classrooms towards virtual mode of online teaching was a maiden historical event in the historical chronicles of educational imparting in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Thus, the online education has turned out to be a new renewed buzzword of the current times of the Corona crisis, rendering the world to a state of chaos and utter disorder.

Due to constant threat posed by the virus of the pandemic, last year, the schools were closed in Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory to prevent any massive outburst due to the Covid-19 virus. However, the Education Department started zoom classes in order to virtually connect the students and teachers, located at different places simultaneously which emerged as a success afterwards.

This year also due to resurgence of Covid-19 pandemic second wave again, the Government imposed lockdown again which necessitated the use of online platforms, viz; zoom, wise app, etc for online teaching-learning processes once again.

Challenge Of Opposition

In order to bring more transparency and accountability in the online teaching process, the Directorate of School Education (DSEK) a few months back launched an online platform called Learning Management System (LMS) in order to bring more accountability and transparency in the teaching-learning process, which is a welcome step. On LMS, the teacher’s mark their attendance; upload content, assignments, etc on a real time basis.

Besides, the community classes are also marked at this digital platform. Unfortunately, due to excess trafficking of data on this virtual platform, sometimes, it gets technical glitches, wherein it becomes impossible to open and use this platform for the moment.

However, the biggest problem that surrounds the online education in Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory as of now is that few students, due to one or the other reason are not able to connect with the teachers online during online pedagogical processes because of lack of smart phones attributed to poverty or otherwise, phone in the custody of a toiling labourer father’s pocket during daytime.

So the onus lies on the civil society at large and government in particular to financially assist these students because poor pupils are not able to buy and subsequently use smartphones due to financial constraints.

Covid-19 pandemic has brought ruins to every sector of the society, be it Primary, Secondary or the Tertiary sector. Thus, the education sector is also one among these suffering sectors. Although education has been imparted in a virtual mode, the world over Covid-19 affected states of the globe, Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory is not an exception.

Besides, the Education department of the Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory has played a key role in the whole process and teachers have rendered an exceptionally honest and dedicated service to serve the student community online for knowledge sharing and content creation and sharing. Besides, the heads of the institutions are playing their part by overseeing the whole process at a macro level.

The recent years have brought a new aspect to this pandemic hit century. Education as of now is in a state of flux. Virtual connectivity and revolution has added a novice dimension and colour to the whole process of education.

Thus the biggest challenge of the current and coming times is to be mentally prepared to face any challenges and digitally connect the students on a massive scale to disseminate knowledge and create the intellectual resources for the future of our country.
