IZAZOVI U ODGOJU I OBRAZOVANJU USLJED PANDEMIJE COVID – 19/CHALLENGES IN UPBRINGING AND EDUCATION DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of schools both around the world and our country in early 2020. Classes overnight changed from regular to "online" teaching through various platforms and brought into an unenviable situation not only educators but also students, parents and the entire community and created a great challenge how to cope with the current situation and how to better and a more transparent way to respond to the challenge. The main goal when the challenges are in education is to contribute to the improvement of the education system, ie to make the system more flexible, for all children to learn through various modalities and to use various technologies and platforms, and to be ready to adequately respond to various challenges. This goal includes teachers to contribute as much as possible in the easiest possible mastering of teaching materials. In order for all of the above to be realized as well as possible, it is necessary to cooperate with schools, and work on improving the education system at the cantonal level. and at the level of the state itself. This primarily refers to equipping schools with IT equipment and educating teachers to work on various platforms. Although the teachers were unprepared for distance learning, they still responded to the challenge in a professional and adequate way and managed to adapt to the situation in a short time.
