The problem of distance education in light of the Corona crisis - a reference to the experience of China

Abstract: This study aims to diagnose the effective role the process of distance learning plays in responding to the Corona pandemic, targeting the experience of the People's Republic of China. The study revealed that distance learning is a systematic process that includes the selection, preparation and delivery of educational materials in addition to the supervision and support of student learning. The process is attained by bridging the physical distance between the student and the teacher through at least one appropriate technical means. It is noteworthy that one of the most important effects of closing schools around the world is the interruption of this latter process. Learning, education and social isolation, denial of nutrition and unequal access to digital learning platforms, as well as disparities in child care worsened the situation. In response to the Corona pandemic, the People's Republic of China has launched several tele-education initiatives, including a supermarket for free courses and e-textbooks for primary and secondary schools provided by pep and Dink Talk to offer live-streaming lessons, to name few. The present study recommended the need to provide a good technological infrastructure for educational institutions in Algeria in order to facilitate the process of communication and distance communication, and the success of the educational process. The need to develop an integrated strategy in order to support the process of distance education, given the positive effects, especially at the time of the spread of epidemics and diseases, such as the Corona Pandemic, which hit the world today, is imperative. Similarly, the need to conclude international agreements with leading countries in the field of technology and digitization in order to benefit from their knowledge and expertise on the one hand, and to keep pace with rapid technological development that the world is witnessing today, on the other hand, is also vital.
