The Novel Sars Challenge to Education Prepping for the Post Pandemic Planet

In its stay-home, social distancing imperative, SARS NCov2 is challenging conventional education to become essential to the needs of the Post Pandemic Planet.

In its swoop to challenge the several components we consider to be pillars of our civilisation, one of its first imperative was to return the mandate for education to homes and families primarily.

Is that only a short term measure, or is it likely to have greater repercussions into the long and medium term.

The COVID-19 threat is a health and socio-cultural, economic and political pandemic. As the virus overturned it all in one swoop, can we restore it all in one swoop? Yes we can!

Futuring, it may mean that many communities may have to turn inwards towards their own knowledge, skills, experiences, tools and resources to meet their needs.

For the education sector, it has shut down traditional forms of schooling and left children confined to their homes and communities, while at the same time stipulating social distancing. This has meant that traditional libraries, museums and other forms of research and learning are less accessible to limit social interaction.

Further, even without COVID-19, there has been a paucity of relevant learning material generated from home-grown knowledge, information and understanding of our society for the education and for lifelong learning that supports independent local, community and family based production of basic goods and services.

Economic Paths & Perspectives to the Post-Pandemic Planet

COVID-19 further has the potential to force a return to more traditional lifestyles as countries close borders, with reduced trade and imports. Yet, many of these traditional lifestyles have been abandoned or distanced in the daily and normal practice of many societies. These developments put the path of survival of many on precarious grounds.

Developing countries and small islands like ours have been turning away from still valuable traditional methods and techniques and have neglected of aspects of local economies that could strengthen food and income security through local productions in agriculture, textiles, craft and entertainment among the range of lifestyles and tastes and nurtured dependence on imported products and services. This is as much true of Trinidad and Tobago with its petroleum-based economy and a significant generator of CFCs harmful to the environment but also many other post colonial-societies.

We explore economic options around the homes and communities in prepping for the post pandemic plant.

Technological/Social

While new technologies as smart phones might have the potential to bring peoples and communities closer together and instantaneously in touch, for the elderly it has also created a bewildering expansion in the intergenerational gap, age and socio-cultural distancing and social neglect. Many communities have been fast-losing traditional family community bonds with youths lost in their own-worlds of smart devices, leaving little or no time for connecting with others or the elderly. In this, they are deprived of the shared learnings and experiences of the elderly that came with traditional support family systems.

Opportunities to utilise the new technologies, tools and devices beneficially limited, despite the widespread and growing access and availability to them. This widespread availability, and reduced costs have the backlash of increasing pollution as old devices and accessories are abandoned. At the same time, many underprivileged do not have access to such devices and tools because of socio-economic access and lack of understanding of their broader uses for socio-economic advantage.
