In many countries, schools have started to include online learning as part of their curriculum. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

Certain countries are making use of online study as a part of the syllabus.

This

aspect of education imparts pros like flexible timetables, and earlier syllabus completion,but it

also

has disadvantages like health issues,generally ,related to eyes

along with

technical glitches.

This

essay illuminates both in the coming passages. Providing online

classes

has proven to be more flexible as compared to regular teaching. If a person cannot join a class physically ,let us say ,

due to

prolonged sickness,

then

also

through digital

classes

that run on ,Zoom it becomes possible for a pupil to attend the lectures.

Thus

, the loss of course is reduced to a larger extent. To illustrate,Singapore has declared the inculcation of e-

classes

in the regular curriculum and has become the first country to reduce the burden of educational institutions and

hence

, preserve expenditures like electricity bills .

Also

, students' subject loss

due to

absenteeism has declined to almost fifty per cent because they have the option of alternative

classes

.

On the contrary

, The USA, UK and ,German that are well-equipped with sophisticated equipment are only found to be successfully running these programs,yet minor errors like connectivity issues do occur occasionally.

Also

, the rise in eye-related problems is registered almost double the time ,owing to the increased usage of computers , and laptops for studying.

On the other hand

, in third-world countries like India ,whose majority of the population resides in rural areas and is devoid of smartphones and technology ,

such

classes

are never a permanent option because most of them cannot afford the things. In a nutshell , having a curriculum which uses a blended approach of traditional learning and software-related applications could benefit both ,a school and its pupils rather than relying on any of them singlehandedly.
