Like so much else during the coronavirus crisis, our education system is in uncharted waters. The Department of Education says all schools have been asked to continue lesson plans and, where possible, provide online lessons for students. While some schools or individual teachers are well equipped to provide learning support online, many others are not. To their credit, many have responded quickly to provide lectures online and replace exams with online assessments. In the meantime, perhaps the best advice for students – especially those in exam years – is to stay calm, keep focused and assume that a normality of sorts will resume in time.
