Nova Realidade Covid-19 após 1 ano

New reality The crisis brought by Covid-19 strongly impacted the education sector in different ways and also forced entities to rethink their business models and also accelerate their investment plans in innovation. In the education sector, different trends can be observed between basic education and higher education, however, in both cases there was significant pressure from parents, students, government and regulatory bodies for tuition discounts and a significant increase in default rates. | Basic education Specifically in basic education, overnight it had to adapt all its content, classes and teacher preparation to a distance learning model, with the help of large technology companies and the investment that had been made by schools in platforms online content were essential. On the other hand, this scenario made even more clear the existing inequality between public and private basic education in Brazil, mainly due to the lack of access to technology and even the internet by the poorest strata of the population. In basic education, during the pandemic, two important movements took place that increased the dropout rate of students from private schools that were, a migration of students to the public system because parents were financially affected by Covid-19, and/or by a decision of taking their children out of school temporarily to preserve their health and also for being at home in social isolation. | College Education College education, on the other hand, was severely affected in relation to on-site education, since distance education in Brazil was already quite consolidated and with relevant growth rates in the number of students in recent years. The pandemic and the economic crisis impacted mainly on the significant increase in the rates of enrollment and retention of students, but with much more relevance in face-to-face teaching, which practically did not exist at this time of pandemic. The changes in higher education brought about by the pandemic were structural rather than circumstantial, with a strong tendency towards a migration from face-to-face to distance education, as it costs less to students and allows for greater flexibility. This will force institutions to rethink their on-site business models, seeking greater efficiency in their physical structures, using these structures as distance learning centers and a preference for premium and more profitable courses, such as medicine.
