Impact on skill development in students amid COVID:

University and college campuses are places where students live and study in close proximity to each other. With the rapid spread of the coronavirus outbreak in the last two years, universities have been hit hard and education officials have been forced to cancel face-to-face classes and close the doors of campuses around the world.

The skill development of university students has been greatly affected by the COVID-19 crisis. The challenges faced by current students are unprecedented. There is no doubt that the pandemic has had an impact on the development of skills among students. With less time on campus and more time spent at home, many students are missing out on important opportunities to develop important skills.:

Some of the skills that got affected by the pandemic include time management (which is one of the major issues among students during COVID-19), problem-solving skills, and communication skills. Before COVID-19, communication could be made easier through direct contact; Online learning changes this situation. Thus, teachers should prepare accordingly and understand that it is difficult for the students, and they need support in this. Virtually all students are currently deprived of face-to-face instruction due to COVID-19. Thus many teachers share a common concern: When the pandemic subsides, students will return to low-achieving universities. The current campus closures have added to the time most students already spend at home during the summer months without explicit instruction from teachers. Students are facing self-isolation, worry about the deadly virus, and uncertainty about the future. In many ways, the current situation is unprecedented for most people alive today.

New Skills for Youth to Succeed in Post - COVID

Governments and businesses are now increasing their investment in digital skills development to ensure students can take advantage of online education and employment opportunities. To address the disproportionately negative effects of the global health crisis on students, governments, and the international community, there is an urgent need to organize a large-scale response with a special focus on vulnerable youth groups in developing countries.It is important to highlight the role of digital technologies in mitigating the effects of the crisis on youth. Digital platforms are enabling students to learn online and these remote opportunities are especially beneficial for vulnerable youth who have been hit hard by the crisis.
