Education has changed a lot in recent years. New technology and events like COVID-19 pandemic have changed the way students learn.
Instead of learning only in classrooms with books and notebooks, students now use computers, tablets and online platforms. These changes have a big effect on education and on me as a student.
One of the changes are that, in the past, education has focused mostly on memorising information and taking exams.
Today, students are encouraged to think creatively, work in groups and share their opinions.
Projects, presentations and discussions help students understand subjects better and built important life skills.
However, online learning can sometimes be difficult because it is easier to get distracted, plus the screen can make individuals and students lose their vision slowly. And I would miss interacting with classmates in person.
These changes have affected me in several ways. Technology has helped me learn more independently and managed my time better. I can review lessons online and learn at my own space.
In conclusion, education has changed greatly in recent years and more is yet to come. Even though there are some challenges, these changes have helped me grow as a student and prepare for the future.
