The Corona Virus has affected education globally. Even in my country, students have been quarantined in their homes as a safety measure. e-learning, if systematically planned, can be an alternative to direct education during the time of quarantine.
Yes, in my country, kindergartens, schools and colleges are now closed for 2 weeks. I noticed that in some other countries schools and colleges were also closed to limit the development of the epidemic. I believe that this is the right solution because of the high risk of potential spread of the epidemic. Children usually do not have a coronavirus, but they can easily transfer the coronavirus and infect other people, so closing schools and colleges is a preventive and legitimate measure. When schools and colleges are closed, e-learning should be continued. The use of ICTs in education is currently growing. In my country, the closure of schools and colleges is not treated as an additional vacation. The government recommends that children and young people stay at home and study at home.

يروس كورنا 9 والتعليم عن بعد دروس من الشيخ كورونا: وتجارب "التعليم عن بعد" لاحتواء الأزمات العالمية هذا ما قررته امريكا يوم امس ( فالدراسة لم تتوقف فيها بسبب الشيخ كورونا ..... حيث أصبح تحول التعليم التقليدي الي الأنشطة التعليمية عن بُعد في ظل الجائحات ، مثل العمل، ضمن الأساليب الرئيسية التي لجأت إليها الدول لمواجهة تداعيات انتشار فيروس "كورونا". فقد أتاح التقدم التكنولوجي الكبير في مجال الاتصالات إمكانية إدارة دورة تعليمية كاملة دون الحاجة لوجود الطلاب والمعلمين في حيز ضيق من المساحة، والسماح - في الوقت ذاته- باتخاذ التدابير الاحترازية لمنع انتشار "كورونا". وعلى الرغم من العوائد الإيجابية المتعددة التي يحققها التعليم عن بُعد؛ إلا أنها تواجه عدة تحديات لا سيما في الدول النامية التي لا تتوفر بها بنية تكنولوجية قوية ؟ ؟
Yes. Quarantine and distancing from places of large gatherings are in order.
Some universities have initiated tele-education, although how efficient is it going to be remains unclear. Some of the already noticed issues are the lack of effective two-way "professor-students" communication during lectures and testing.
Unfortunately, we do not have the technical capabilities (as of yet) to start education through virtual reality rooms, which would solve these problems.
In medicine, past the mostly theoretical first two years, there is an additional issue of not being able to converse with or examine patients.
Yes, it has affected education globally, because Corona Virus (COVID-19) now, unfortunately, is epidemic but I think it is a time to learn from crises just to look for and depend on some other techniques such as MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) or E-learning Management Systems.
Corona virus infection is now a pandemic, it has affected every spheres of life in the world especially global economy and education. Yes, all the educational institutions (From primary level to universities) are closed for at least 14 days and students are asked to stay at their homes.
The school calendar in my country has been grossly affected. It would also distort the service year for potential Corps members (fresh graduates) and their individual plans for the future. Many jobs are already affected and the economy may nosedive.
