E-learning in Colombia in times of pandemic

Online education is a good option for more people to access good universities, without having to move from where they live. Many expenses are saved in addition to the fact that it is cheaper than the face-to-face study.

I have not studied #elearning in Colombia, but I have done it in other countries. It has helped me a lot to access foreign universities. He couldn't have done it any other way.

I think that for at least a year, counting on this semester that is starting, we will have to adapt to study under the alternation modality and this could be an unexpected boost for e-learning in Colombia.

E-learning in Colombia is still not very important or outstanding, and people continue to prefer face-to-face studies. More pedagogy and promotion is needed by the government, the Ministry of Education and the universities themselves. In these times of pandemic, it is surprising that adequate penetration has not been achieved to address this crisis, as shown in the graph, in which it is seen that more than 90% of the programs are face-to-face. Still missing.

I have not had the opportunity to study anything through e-learning. I like more the possibility of interaction offered by face-to-face study. -Maybe I will in the future.

Online e-education could be a good way to increase the coverage and knowledge of Colombians. BUT,–First it is necessary to expand coverage, especially in remote regions, second, it is essential to provide devices to the greatest number of students, for this the government could take care of buying quantities of equipment or tablets to supply them to those citizens who live in inhuman conditions in the material and in the human. The country is collapsing due to the lack of true education for life, for a healthy coexistence, so that the population obtains an education that familiarizes them with nature and our incredible biodiversity, because that is where the development of the country should be based. We must educate for a sustainable development of our resources, educate to be a global pantry of healthy food, not industrial. all the governments of America are opposed, they should privatize education; If that is achieved, the continent richest in resources in the world will become the source of wealth for others, not for the natives. The idea of ​​privatization has been discussed in the USA itself, and that has produced negative results. Online schools will be able to provide students with their own analytical reasoning, teach constructive criticism, culture and national traditions and most importantly, they must educate to learn to think, to appreciate what we are and learn to achieve personal happiness. Life can be beautiful if we build spiritual values, brotherhood and respect for others, that forms peaceful communities. Individualism, the accumulation of objects and materialization will not bring peace to this beautiful and rich Colombia. The best weapon of a country is its human capital. Please, let's look at what is ours and stop applying formulas that have failed since the XNUMXs, such as the attack on public educational institutions. Some senators in the Third Commission like Ms. Valencia are proposing that the bond government and that parents choose where to send their children. Can we continue making so many mistakes in the training and education of citizens? What Ms. Valencia indicates was already experienced in the USA, with the so-called Charter Schools, (privatization), it did not work! US public schools continue to be the ones that educate the majority of the population. We must meditate why we are the way we are. If educated conscientiously, the country could be one of the best nurseries in the world.
