SWOT Analysis of Education in Jamshedpur Reference to Covid-19

Abstract

The term education is derived from the Latin word ‘educate,’ which means to ‘educate,’ to ‘bring up,’ or to ‘draw out’ the latent powers of a child. Confirming this meaning, Durkheim defined education as “the action exercised by the older generations upon those who are not yet ready for social life. Its object is to awaken and develop in the child those physical, intellectual and moral states which are required of him both by his society as a whole and by the milieu for which he is specially designed”. He conceives of education as “the socialization of the younger generation.” Hence, education may be broadly regarded as how people learn to participate in the society in which they live. Education is the social process by which an individual learns the things necessary to fit into the social life of his society. The coronavirus pandemic has significantly disrupted various sectors in India, including oil and gas, automobiles, aviation, agriculture, retail, etc. We can’t ignore that hardly a sector would remain unaffected by the crisis. The impact may be more or less. The same is true with the education sector in India. The objective of this research is to study the impact of Covid 19 on the Indian education system. A total number of 60 women were interviewed telephonically. The snowball sampling technique was applied for sample selection. The findings revealed are discussed in the article.
