All the forces of life are subject to change; this is the sole constant. Similar to what everyone had been doing over the previous few years, COVID 19 brought about a change in how people worked, lived, and implemented ideas. Education in India needed to be shaken up, particularly in rural areas where there were many prejudices and societal norms that needed to be overcome. Several organisations ran education programs and took action to make primary education mandatory for all citizens of India. Although every sector of the world economy was shut down for a very long duration due to the COVID 19 pandemic, this was the worst slowdown of the century and caused a decline in overall growth.The Indian education system was hit hard, just like other industries. While metropolitan institutions were able to continue offering online courses, the number of rural students attending classes quickly declined. The biggest challenge was distributing online education in rural India because every student has a right to continue his/her education, which shouldn't be interfered with in any way. This study aims to shed insight on the difficulties the rural primary and secondary education sector encountered during the epidemic and its long-term effects. A thorough SWOT analysis of the current and prospective opportunities is provided, along with suggestions for the necessary improvements in the sector of rural education. The spillover effects of COVID 19 on the education sector have sped up technological advancement, which is covered in depth in this study |
