Social aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the education system

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the life of modern society forever. Not only the economy has changed, but also the person himself and his way of life, his communications. The education system and its role in society have also changed. Analysis of public reviews of recent years, as well as national and international programs aimed at compensation of the social consequences of distance learning. The existing stratification of society is changing from an economic to a digital paradigm because of the pandemic and it is impossible to overcome it within the framework of only separate education system. But the simultaneous digital development of the largest possible group of people – students and their parents, their upbringing and development are only possible within the framework of this system. All the social consequences of distance learning during the 2020 pandemic can best be understood in retrospect. There is no doubt that the decline in the quality of education will lead to significant difficulties in offsetting it. Now we can note a significant increase in the inequality among the population in the new area, the area of access to digital technologies and the digital state.
