Hier Lindas Bericht auf Englisch:
With the beginning of 2020, the dreams of many people were dispelled. As soon as the New Year began, the world was surprised by a piece news that caused to freeze the entire globe (Covid 19), a rapidly spreading virus that started from China and invaded quarter of the globe, causing huge economic losses and many lives of those whose bodies could not bear the virus’ attack .
With the imposition of the first strict quarantine, fear and confusion dominated people and governments alike, as both were not qualified to deal with such an emerging circumstance.
The education sector had the lions’ share of the chaos. At the beginning, distance education was imposed through the Internet and some meetings ‘programs, such as TEAM program, in which the students attend learning video lessons and receive files and homeworks from the teachers directly, upload them, then send the solutions by email or Upload pdf files to the team program, and sometimes print the answer sheet s and give them it o the teacher at the school on a specific day in which the rules of social distancing are taken into account.
