COVID CRISIS MANAGEMENT - T Pradeep Kumar - Bog

The corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis in all areas. In the field of education, this emergency has led to the massive closure of face-to-face activities of educational institutions in more than 190 countries in order to prevent the spread of the virus and mitigate its impact. According to data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), by mid-May 2020, more than 1.2 billion students at all levels of education worldwide had stopped having face-to-face classes. In this context, the crisis will have a profoundly negative impact on the various social sectors, particularly health and education, as well as on employment and poverty (ECLAC, 2020a). There was a major setback for the educational institutions in order to manage the covid crisis situations, especially conducting classes, communicating with stake holders, following the rules and regulations in the premises. In this context the present research focused on covid crisis management among secondary school teachers and thus felt the need to explore.
