Communication: A way of Life
Communication skill in school is simply the transfer of information from one person to another, or group to another. It is a process of exchanging ideas, knowledge and information combined with emotions and intentions in such a way as to fulfil the purpose or intent in the best way possible. In education, effective communication is essential for building school-parent partnership. Right communication between school and parents acts as a perfect catalyst in progress and all-round development of children.
Covid-19 and communication challenges
The lockdowns in response to Covid-19, especially closing of schools and educational institutes due to health risk have interrupted the conventional way of communication. The global pandemic has exposed us to new challenges and hurdles of new ‘normal’. The most obvious challenge is the lack of regular collaborative communication. Most of us now have less face-to-face, in-person interactions with others due to which parents are increasingly finding it difficult to track the performance of their wards.
As school is considered to be a second home for students, the bond between the school and the parents is of utmost importance. This bond has undergone a significant change due to the ripple effects of novel corona virus and as a result, has led to a pool of concerns and disquietude among parents.
