One key factor of this is the physical and social interactions amongst learners starting on the very first day of school. Every little gestures and physical responses will add up to their development mentally physically and socially, which later in life those interactions will serve as a solid foundation when they come across a far more complex interactions as an adult. But times and unforseen events forced us to switch to another untested system of education based on available modern technology, I would like to use the term virtual education. And this is where the challenge begins: " how can we make up for the loss of physical and social interactions in virtual education?" Switching from traditional to virtual learning can be likened to an athlete competing for the first time with no visible competition.
