Abstract :
Education is one of the primary sectors
focused on by the Government of India. It is a basic
right as per Article 21-A in the Constitution of India
and the government’s responsibility to make sure
everyone has a quality education. The COVID- 19
pandemic had disrupted the Indian Education system.
Education Institutions in India follow the traditional
system of learning i.e.,face-to-face lectures in the
classroom. The unforeseen epidemic called
Coronavirus(COVID- 19) shook the entire world. This
situation posed a challenge to the globaleducation
system and forced educators to shift to an online style of
teaching. Numerous universities around the world have
completely digitalized their operations understanding
the dire need of this current situation. The educational
institutions are adopting online mode of learning
globally which has been initiated from the pandemic.
Thus, the quality improvement of online teaching is
pivotal at this stage. The concern isn't about whether
online teaching styles can give quality education, it's
rather how academic institutions will be suitable to
borrow online learning in such a massive manner. The
extremity of COVID- 19 brought an unprecedented
opportunity for the educational technology (Edtech)
sector in India. The effort has been made in this paper
to put some light on Education Technology (Edtech) as
well as some major Edtech companies in India, Impact
of COVID-19 on Indian Education System, SWOC
analysis to bring out major strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and challenges prevailing in the education
sector and also suggest how educational technologies
turn this COVID- 19 extremity, which has a major
impact on the education sector in India, into openings to
make a digital education system.
