As science education mostly requires lab work coupled with practical demonstration and experimentation. Is the online education system effective or just a formality?
I think the following manuscript may help answer some of the questions. Greetings

I think it is rather formality because students need to practice manually
The below link provides the detailed scenario on online classes and there impact of education

If, in a specific education process, the key issue is to conduct experiments, improve skills, verify knowledge by asking pupils and students, as well as tests and exams, conducting discussions and brainstorming in a large group of students, conducting lectures in large groups of students, etc., unfortunately education is conducted only in remote form, via the Internet, in the online e-learning formula (e.g. in the form of videoconferences conducted via Internet applications) does not ensure high efficiency of the didactic process and may generate a reduction in the quality of teaching.

I agree Dr. Dariusz Prokopowicz point of view. There are areas or topics that beyond virtual education, which the pandemic forced to generalize, need face-to-face attendance between students and teachers.
Best regards from Argentina.
Some of the courses like math, chemistry, and physics as well as subjects of art like painting require a face to face interaction where the teacher can readily intervene to clarify likely problems. Therefore, as things stand right now, e learning , though very useful, cannot totally substitute the indispensable services provided by a teacher.
Gentle researchers I share a little pre-print technical report about the possible evolution of post COVID19 school. I hope this is useful for this topic. Have a nice week. --sv--

Online education only supplements the needs of science students in the COVID-19 situation, there is a huge need of lab. activities for science students.
This is the only mode of imparting education to the students at this present time. The drawback is that we can only teach theory topics using the online platform whereas for teaching and demonstration of practical we need the traditional means of teaching.
