SURVIVAL OF GEOGRAPHY EDUCATION IN A COVID-19 PRONE SOCIETY

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unanticipated phenomenon that has exposed human fragility in an interconnected and interdependent world. While impacts are of a global magnitude, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has also brought unprecedented educational disruption which has hampered the smooth teaching and learning of geography education in our school system. This was as a result on the restriction on movement and close association to avoid the spread of the disease. Using the critical analysis, the researcher discovers that the only strategy for the survival and continuity of Geography education is through online learning shifting from traditional systems of learning to digital platforms.
