Good Speech-“Internet education or school education”

Technology has changed the way of teaching. Learning through internet is becoming quite popular. Many predict that in the near future it will replace schools. What is your opinion?

The conventional way of teaching is challenged with the coming of internet. Internet has dissolved the boundaries as it reaches any part of the world to educate the people.

In many countries, the concept of education through internet has become very popular. On internet, students can easily get information about anything they want. They can save the school journey time. They do not have to go as per the class and can learn at their own pace. Just think of a brilliant student, he can really do wonders in studies by making it fast paced with the assistance of internet. However, knowledge imparted is bookish and impractical. Lack of face-to-face interaction has harms the communication skills of students. Moreover, they may not develop their intellectual level and becomes less creative. Sitting in front of computer for long hours affects their physical health adversely. We can see children becoming fat and lazy and developing weak eyesight due to spending more time on computers. They may start accessing sites restricted for them and divert from studies.

On the other hand, education given through schools has more life. Students get an opportunity to interact with teachers and other students. They get a competitive environment. Apart from teaching, other classroom activities such as debates, elocutions etc. can increase the confidence of students to great extent. Schools also have many extracurricular activities which can help students remove stage fear, develop interpersonal skills, sportsmanship etc. can increase the confidence of students to great extent. Schools also have many extracurricular activities which can help students remove stage fear, develop interpersonal skills, sportsmanship etc. and to be more practical. Computers cannot teach moral values to students like teachers do.

I think internet will never replace schools entirely as perfect teaching is not possible without any human involvement. It can just be used as a supporting tool for learning.
