The unsettling effects of COVID19 on students

The last four months have had a drastic effect on not only the health of millions of people but it has put a temporary halt to how we function as a society.

Restaurants and cafes closed, schools and universities closed for the foreseeable future with most of the teaching being taught online, supermarkets limiting the number of people allowed into the building at any given time to name a few of the changes.

The changes to education have produced a level of anxiety and uncertainty with students and teaching staff alike.

A recent poll via our social media showed that an alarming 93.8% of students are fearful of how the pandemic may affect their education and grade attainment.

The pandemic has crumbled long-standing routines and put everything out of whack. Leaving behind a sense of uneasy as moving forward students are having less face-to-face time with their lecturers. Hopefully, in the coming months, COVID19 will feel like a bad dream and normality will return but until then who knows what other curveballs may be thrown our way.
