Most schools planned to suspend their classes for 2 to 4 weeks only but the continued threat from the disease has extended the class suspension to months. It was an abrupt decision causing the cancelation of exams, school terms, and even graduations. Unfortunately, many students cannot participate in this new method of learning as they don't have access to the necessary resources. In developing countries more than 50% of their student population who do not have access to a computer or internet connection to use for schoolwork.

In fact, some don't even have electricity in the home. As the administration continues to wage its war against the school, Kristi Noem also said last month that the school would lost its ability to enroll foreign students should it fail to comply with the demands. Both of the learning methods have disadvantages for children who come from low-income families. It limits their chance to continue their studies and be left behind by their classmates.

Some of them may not return to school at the end of the pandemic because of the economic impact they experience. School closures have caused changes to the educational system. It let us innovate and use new ways of learning to continue delivering quality education. Unfortunately, it also has many consequences and hardships especially to children from developing countries. In fact, it effect affects children's nutrition especially in Africa.

Some students depends on school meals to have proper nutrition. Many parents also relies on schools for childcare so they can work while their kids are at school. The widespread school closure leave millions of children in hunger worldwide. The coronavirus disease infected millions and killed hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. It is easily transmitted through droplets which are released by sneezing or coughing. These droplets are not visible to our naked eye.

In addition, some infected people are asymptomatic or do not have symptoms making it difficult to tell if the person we are in contact with is a source of infection. The health sector was not prepared for this new disease and house tutoring is still developing a vaccine to combat its spread. Therefore, the best prevention we can take as of now is to distant ourselves from others. However, a quick and effective response to the education disruption is important to avoid more damages to the education sector which also effects economy.

Another solution to continue education while implementing social distancing is modular learning system. This is the suggested educational program for students who do not have access to computers and internet connection.
