In the last two years, the Covid-19 pandemic has willy-nilly forced us to enter a new era for distant learning wherein teachers and students alike have been faced with challenges and changes in schooling. While many may have embraced the new way of schooling they have encountered, relishing the freedom and flexibility offered by online learning, others may have suffered a lot from the losses of real contacts with teachers and peers in a classroom setting, which are essential parts of all face-to-face meetings. Write an essay in which you depict the effects of the Covid-19 outbreak in education, either focusing on the positive, or the negative outcomes of distant learning during or after the pandemic.
