Amidst the chaos caused by the coronavirus, the moment is propitious to bring a paradigm shift in the education sector and redefine the purpose of education. Experts believe that altering existing methodologies and curricula a bit can make a difference. Changes in the curriculum are in the hands of higher educational authorities, i.e., the board, but as far as education is concerned, we need more educators than teachers to pave the way for a successful career.
