While Southeast Asia is facing the coronavirus disease, students are extremely affected. As most of the schools in China had deferred their first term, numerous students had taken the opportunity to return home to celebrate the New Year. Numerous schools and organizations have postponed the beginning of their spring-semester classes, which will be taught remotely using digital learning.

Not only did the ban affect students coming in, but also a formerly planned school exchange trip involving 30 students to their sister school in Guangzhou city has been deferred.  

Is there an option to attain education in such a circumstance?

The intensity with which Coronavirus has hit the whole South-East Asian area and a couple of different districts over the world has made us think over the implications in the near future. The students have been affected as their studies are hindered. As previously mentioned, numerous schools and universities have been closed down. In this manner, numerous schools, colleges, and universities over the globe are expanding support by delivering courses digitally. This way students can continue with their studies without being stressed about attending school physically.

The spread of the Coronavirus over the Lunar New Year occasion has implied the delay of the school and school semesters driving students to remain at home and take online schooling. Instead of falling behind, numerous students have just started taking in full-time online courses from self-teaching instruction. China is presently investigating the digital education options as school and school specialists have deferred the new semester of this current year. Students can learn new aptitudes through online training, for example, speaking naturally in front of a camera or using a digital pen during PowerPoint presentations.

InternationalSchooling is one of the popular and affordable options for continuing one’s school education.

As per the world health Organization (WHO), China's Ministry of Education gave an announcement last Thursday, February sixth, urging students to study from the digital learning platform as an alternative way of learning amid the suspension of the new semester. There are likewise plans to dispatch a national internet cloud classroom giving a full scope of study materials and courses for students of all grades.

Precisely to what extent it will take for the virus to wipe out is difficult as there are as of now no immunizers that ensure us against it. Coronavirus is seriously influencing students yet we plan to recover their studies back on track through digital learning.
