AN EVALUATION OF EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES DURING COVID-19 IN THE WORLD

Abstract

The crisis are opportunities to test the power of systems, their flexibility, strengths and weaknesses. Covid-19 crisis is felt in all areas of life from health to economy, from education to transportation, from tourism to entertainment. The improvements on the cure of the illness have been announced from the beginning of the pandemic. All countries have declared their finding about the virus and treatment they thought successful. However, education has not had a global warning system. The problems in educational activities are all evaluated regional, therefore the local administrations have to take measurements to get rid of it. Covid-19 outbreak caused millions of children, educational professions, disabled adults and children stay at home for a long time. In terms of education, for some poor countries like Morocco, 2020 is referred as “a lost year” due to lack of infrastructure for the most part of the country to deliver educational activities through online technology. For developed and developing countries like England, France, and Turkey educational activities were better than African countries in 2020. The quick response to crisis in education in most countries were not sufficient like Turkey, but it worth to appreciate. In the study the educational practices of some countries in the world during Covid-19 evaluated under the light of literature.
