Online learning presents significant hurdles for kindergarten children in Thailand, impeding their crucial physical and developmental needs.
Teachers struggle to adapt lessons, acquire new technology, and create engaging content for young learners, while many parents face difficulties providing support due to work or lack of tech proficiency.
Widespread COVID-19 infections among students, teachers, and parents further disrupt education, leading to school closures, conversions into field hospitals, and a lack of essential equipment for online access in many families.
Educators are concerned about potential learning gaps and anticipate a substantial increase in workload to ensure student comprehension once physical schooling resumes.
