Struggle of child based Co-curricular Educational Institutions in the post-pandemic era from the perspective of Aloha Bangladesh; online education in Bangladesh

Abstract

COVID-19 has caused world devastation since its breakout in late December 2019, which hit the education sector hard like any critical sector. In March of last year, all educational institutions in Bangladesh were closed due to health concerns. The school system then moved to online education after a few months. Since the students had no prior experience with online education, it took time to be experienced it. However, online learning methods are proving still very challenging to adopt among children in this post-pandemic era. Compared to adults, they lack sufficient understanding of online platforms. As a result, all child-centered educational institutions suffer losses. ALOHA BANGLADESH is a child-based independent educational institution that introduced a unique mathematical method in Bangladesh. They began to suffer significant losses during the pandemic and post-pandemic years. The reasons behind their losses are the significant dropouts of students due to lack of technological skills and difficulties in adapting among child students.
