Many have succeeded, though, in the last few months. And with more schools re-opening their doors for in-door classes, one might think that things are finally looking up. However, that\u2019s not the case, as the question still stands: is it safe? Given that the coronavirus is still prevalent and with the vaccine still out of ordinary citizens\u2019 hands, schools hesitate to open their doors for now. To restore a bit of normalcy to the situation, some schools are opening for alternate classes, which lets fewer students in, per social distancing rules and guidelines. If you have students in preschool or <a href=\"\/sg\/school-levels\/primary\" data-w-id=\"8a045e54-7d04-ffe2-534f-69fb2fa92334\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;8a045e54-7d04-ffe2-534f-69fb2fa92334&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">primary school<\/a> and you\u2019re wondering about the future of education, or where all these will lead to, here are a few things to think about.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"321d7e28-4402-a5f3-6b55-5c071a9b5a65\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;321d7e28-4402-a5f3-6b55-5c071a9b5a65&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<\/p>\n<h3 data-w-id=\"f672ac20-12a8-a212-2558-c09e3e7ad88b\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;f672ac20-12a8-a212-2558-c09e3e7ad88b&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">In-Person or Online Classes?<\/h3>\n<p data-w-id=\"141b4de3-2c4a-6812-8896-2d087a900f1f\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;141b4de3-2c4a-6812-8896-2d087a900f1f&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">The closure of many businesses in many industries across the globe hasn\u2019t escaped anyone\u2019s notice.

Some schools may never reopen. Some are thriving and well-equipped to educate their students through innovative ways.

That is one of the biggest challenges that students need to deal with. As they adjust to online classes, many students have a hard time with distance learning sessions. They want to go back to a traditional classroom. While all those issues are understandable, there are ways to make the situation work. While both teachers and students would rather return to the classroom at this point, there are plenty of ways to overcome distance learning issues.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"3c1d37a7-8417-d63d-cc6a-f3df400c6f5f\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;3c1d37a7-8417-d63d-cc6a-f3df400c6f5f&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<\/p>\n<h3 data-w-id=\"6ba76f5a-f79b-320b-f9dd-10c539e4e0ec\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;6ba76f5a-f79b-320b-f9dd-10c539e4e0ec&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">Overcoming the Distance<\/h3>\n<p data-w-id=\"9db32f94-5e46-7a46-9e8f-cb9abe727208\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;9db32f94-5e46-7a46-9e8f-cb9abe727208&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">One of the many ways teachers build and keep engagement levels high in class is through the use of various teaching styles. Traditional classroom techniques won\u2019t work anymore. This has pushed a lot of teachers to be creative with their approach. The change in their teaching styles benefits the children. There are different learners and using multiple techniques means teachers can connect with every student in the class. That has helped improve engagement in online classes. Schools that have teachers who understand the different learners can make this happen.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"3eb862d9-ce83-9086-eb7f-4fa2fef34970\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;3eb862d9-ce83-9086-eb7f-4fa2fef34970&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-embed w-script\" data-w-id=\"06e1ee74-3adf-d1ce-9224-6f39824c5450\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;06e1ee74-3adf-d1ce-9224-6f39824c5450&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"14837\" class=\"elementor elementor-14837\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34ff92c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"34ff92c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0db06fe exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0db06fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/sg\/admissions\/campus-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"787\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/globalindianschool.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Campus-Tour-banner-min-jpg.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-14843\" alt=\"Campus Tour banner-min\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalindianschool.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Campus-Tour-banner-min-jpg.webp 787w, https:\/\/globalindianschool.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Campus-Tour-banner-min-300x69.webp 300w, https:\/\/globalindianschool.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Campus-Tour-banner-min-768x176.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/span><\/div>\n<p data-w-id=\"4b04d1c7-d8bb-532b-ad6d-d08abd54ea60\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;4b04d1c7-d8bb-532b-ad6d-d08abd54ea60&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<\/p>\n<h3 data-w-id=\"997e3a4a-a4d2-3906-a7bd-77fca79b1dc1\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;997e3a4a-a4d2-3906-a7bd-77fca79b1dc1&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">Disrupted Education<\/h3>\n<p data-w-id=\"3bc9e7d8-91b5-5313-c32e-9742fddc1e73\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;3bc9e7d8-91b5-5313-c32e-9742fddc1e73&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">The loss of jobs has also affected some students personally.
