Here are the difficulties in occurrence of the Practical Classes

The COVID-19 situation and its impact have entirely disrupted human life. The Coronavirus has forced every industry to either shut or to shift towards the online medium. This testing time has created challenges for the education sector as well. While most universities and students are depending on online education, there are few subjects where education is not possible without practical class, like Architecture.

Today, we are going to talk about the difficulties in obtaining practical classes during the COVID-19 followed by the latest ways to refine architectural education.

The Difficulties

There is an endless number of difficulties that students and universities are facing in managing architrual education.

The major problems include the following:

1. Less Support & More Expectation:

Education providers are coming up with new ways but the students are still getting less support that they require but the expectations are even higher than the normal times.

2. Not getting the right atmosphere:

Students come from different family backgrounds, and it is not possible for everyone to set up a classroom environment at home. Most students are not getting the right atmosphere to study. Students with different medical conditions are not able to manage with this ed-tech setup but they are left with no other option right now.

3. Quality at stake

While the education providers are trying their best to survive in the ed-tech world. We cannot ignore the fact that the quality of education is at stake right now. Neither students nor the teachers can match the quality provided in a classroom set up.

4. No practical Exposure

Architectural education is all about practical learning but due to the Coronavirus students are not able to get the required practical exposure. They are learning only theory while they’ll need the practical fundamentals while starting their career as architects.
