[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Beth Tarasawa and Megan Kuhfeld, two researchers for NWEA (who conducted the MAP testing assessment), predicted that when the school reopened in the fall or early September, students in the US will spend up to 30% more extravagantly and may lose the reading and calculation skills that they have learned during the previous school year by up to 50%. The COVID-19 virus has been shutting down schools in the United States since mid-March. The importance of education in each year is different. Some children may have to return to school for a full year without a break.
What educational personnel will handle in the coming months Therefore it is very important to protect students from academic failure.
To confirm the expectations, both Beth Tarasawa and Megan Kuhfeld used the methodology for samples and research. The comparison with Thailand cannot be compared because of the differences, including the demographic characteristics of that area as well as the teaching principles and the severity of the spread that results in the closure of schools. However, we should remember that the extension of an additional holiday will have a very serious impact on education. What educational personnel will have to deal with in the next few months is important to protect students from academic failures.
Professor Fernando Reimers at Harvard University and Andrea Schlager of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) surveyed the 330 educational personnel from 98 Countries to see what each government has seen as the most important thing to stop the epidemic disease around the world. The survey results can be broadly divided to support among students, teachers and parents.
For students, policymakers should provide continuous learning, provide support to groups that lack skills in education independently, and take care of living conditions and emotional health. For teachers, the government should support professional personnel or staff to enable them to prepare technical and teaching skills to use distance learning effectively. For parents, the officials must ensure that they are ready to support children’s distance learning from home. In order to expand education during this time, each country must be prepared to best cope and utilize the media under different conditions. A variety of online learning patterns occur in Argentina, Australia and China while learning in broadcasting or live learning via video is very common in Belgium, Israel and Hungary.
At the same time, another country, such as Japan, is planning ahead to help students improve their education by adding additional classes after the school is reopened. Italy has provided support to teachers through distance training and working in regional groups. Georgia has set up a virtual learning system, in which volunteer technology experts can educate the educators with distance learning. We still have the Netherlands and Singapore. Two giant countries of education have opened a fund to provide students with the tools they need to learn online. They are also aware that some children may have difficulty to learning effectively at home.
This is due to the need of an environment conducive to education and support from parents, or some need other support, such as food. These students, most of which come from low-income families, are welcomed and gone back to the schools or no need to learn from home because of teachers who help and take care of themselves. There are measures to prevent the spread of disease, such as providing a safe area. This also helps to ease the burden of parents who are severely affected by COVID-19 pandemic and those experiencing other instability as well.
proposals from stakeholders and determining the next appropriate step. At the same time, there are still ideas to build existing technical infrastructure, such as working with the Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) by organizing 13 TV channels to show digital teaching and learning in some schools. The school administrators are also able to share opinions and make suggestions on how to make good use of the internet.
Another thing to keep in mind is that students who are far away or difficult to access such as living in a mountainous area or border. These students are difficult to access the internet or electricity or may not get anything at all. The best way is to approach them directly offline. For example, the classroom plan is adjusted to continues teaching but students must take turn to attend the class to avoid assembly and disease prevention. Another option is the volunteer teachers in remote rural areas to teach students, such as “teachers behind horses” that have existed in the past. These teachers will ride a horse carrying teaching materials to remote rural villages to teach mixed-age children in each village by thoroughly teaching the underprivileged thoroughly. Not only preparing a lesson plan for home-learning, but alleviating the suffering of marginal students is also important for government agencies because of the school closures adversely affecting children’s nutrition and education inequality. During normal times, there are 670,000 students per year who are out of school. Compared to today’s adversity, the number of children in the vulnerability of education is getting worse.
At this point, the Equitable Education Fund (EEF) is expediting disbursement of subsidies of 3,000 baht per student under the Conditional cash transfer (CCT) project for 711,536 at-risk children and youths in 27,805 schools nationwide. The process normally takes several months after the school opens. The Equitable Education Fund (EEF) has allocated another 300 million baht for emergency relief for 200,000 underprivileged students to help their living expenses during an unexpected crisis from postponing the opening of the schools. Until the medical teams will find a cure or prevent the COVID-19 virus, this disease is likely to continue to spread continuously.
However, we are not allow the disease to fall or stop the education system due to the social and economic costs of disruption. Teaching is much more than teachers can handle. Therefore, policymakers must ensure that education response to the COVID-19 crisis must be clear and flexible, fast but comprehensive, accessible to a specific group of villages but internationally proven, student-centered but also teacher-and-parent-centered.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_raw_html]JTVCZ29vZ2xlX2ZvbnQlMjBmb250JTNEJTIyUG9wcGlucyUyMiUyMHNpemUlM0QlMjI1MCUyMiUyMCUyMGNvbG9yJTNEJTIyJTIzMDBDNzk1JTIyJTIwd2VpZ2h0JTNEJTIyNzAwJTIyJTVEV3JpdGVyJTVCJTJGZ29vZ2xlX2ZvbnQlNUQlMEE=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”2882″ style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1592978801951{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
