Correspondence between Jyotsna Gupta<\/strong> (student at National Law University \u2013 Delhi) and Clara Safi Nabintu<\/strong> (\u00e9tudiant \u00e0 l\u2019 Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Bukavu) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Clara Safi Nabintu,<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I hope you are having a good day. Through the news, I have a slight idea\nof what the COVID-19 situation currently looks like in your country, and I hope\nyou and your loved ones are safe. In India, including in the Indian capital\nfrom where I\u2019m writing this letter to you, the situation has been moving back\nand forth lately. Schools, colleges and other public institutes were shut for a\nvery long time and as of now the government is trying to open up these places\nin a phased manner. So, in a nutshell, COVID-19 is kind of the centre of\neverything that is happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is actually the motive behind my choice of this topic for our\ndiscussion. I\u2019m a first-year law student, and I was very excited to visit my\nuniversity. I took a one-year break after high school before starting university,\nand I did science subjects in high school. So, taking up law, I was looking\nforward to delving into this new field and interacting with my peers, seniors\nand professors. But due to the ongoing pandemic, I most certainly haven\u2019t been\nable to experience any this as of yet. And as things appear right now, I don\u2019t\nthink it will happen any time soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I attend my classes everyday with a group of people who I haven\u2019t met in\nperson. It feels weird, but at the same time, it is actually very nice as well.\nIt\u2019s like having a bunch of online friends, like you and me, through this\ninitiative. But yes, my point is, having been raised in such an environment\nwhere human interaction is given priority, it has been a difficult ride to\nadapt to all this. Also, there is a fresher\u2019s party which is supposed to happen\nevery year for the first years and that was also online this year. Anyway,\nleaving aside the things in my own situation that I am sad about, we have all\nlost some really good opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In law school, we are introduced to something called \u2018mooting\u2019 in our\nfirst years, and almost every law student initially takes part in this. Mooting\nis actually kind of a dummy court, where we role-play as lawyers in a courtroom\nsetting and we discuss a hypothetical case given to us in front of a judge.\nIt\u2019s great and a really fun activity, and actually quite an important part of\nour law school experience. If I\u2019m not wrong, you\u2019re studying informatics, so\nyou might have hackathons, I guess. If so, it\u2019s something similar to that probably.\nLet me know in your letter. So, anyway, we will be having our first mooting\nrounds in about a week, but online. Not that it\u2019s not great, I\u2019m really\nexcited, but this activity is a lot more fun offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, based on my personal experience and also from what I have heard from\nmy friends in other fields as well, it\u2019s actually a little difficult to cope\nwith this online teaching system. It\u2019s great to expand on and add to what one\nis doing in the offline mode, but not a sustainable method on its own. Many\npeople have connectivity issues, so they cannot attend the classes sometimes.\nThere is always an option of watching the recorded lecture, but, again, nothing\ncan replace the kind of discourse in an offline class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking from a broader perspective, a lot of people around the world\nwho are currently using this mode of education are facing problems. I\nunderstand my privileges and the fact that my parents and teachers have done\nmore than enough in these times to ensure I get my education in the best way\npossible. As a law student and, most importantly, as a human being, I would\nalso bring into consideration the majority of people who don\u2019t have access to\nsuch resources, people who are specially abled and don\u2019t have the requisite technology\nto adapt to this system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am certainly well aware of the challenge\u2019s world leaders are facing\nright now, and in no way am I blaming all this on them. It\u2019s just how our\nsociety is inherently, in its very core. We often tend to neglect stories from the\nother side. This pandemic has more evidently brought all this to light, and has\nactually forced us to think about it. For this online mode of education to\nfunction effectively across the board, there is a prerequisite of inclusivity\nin the system. I feel that we as people who have seen this pandemic close up\nand how it affects us at different levels should actually think about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope that through this letter I have given you some food for thought.\nBlending with my own personal experiences and my views on a broader scale, I\nsend this letter and my best wishes to you. I would also like to apologize if\nany of these views are in conflict with what you believe. I would certainly\nlike to hear what you think about this and look forward to your reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your friend,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jyotsna Gupta
\n24-FEB-2021, Delhi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ch\u00e8re Jyotsna Gupta,<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Je me porte bien, ainsi que toute ma famille. Je suis tout autant honor\u00e9e\nque vous de participer \u00e0 ce programme et d\u2019\u00e9changer avec vous sur ce qu\u2019est\nl\u2019\u00e9ducation actuellement. Dans mon pays, ce sujet est un des points les plus\nsensibles en ce moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La pand\u00e9mie s\u00e9vit dans notre pays et bien que les activit\u00e9s scolaires et\nacad\u00e9miques aient r\u00e9cemment repris en pr\u00e9sentiel, nous avons connu, durant cette\nann\u00e9e, deux mois d\u2019arr\u00eat complet sans savoir quand nous reprendrions les cours,\net pendant ces deux mois, l\u2019universit\u00e9 envisageait d\u00e9j\u00e0 la reprise des cours en\nligne que nous craignions tous. Pendant l\u2019ann\u00e9e acad\u00e9mique 2019-2020, nous\navons pu exp\u00e9rimenter l\u2019enseignement en ligne et pour moi, il a des points tout\nautant positifs que n\u00e9gatifs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je suis maintenant en derni\u00e8re ann\u00e9e de Licence en Sciences\nInformatiques et vue la qualit\u00e9 \u00e9volutive des sciences technologiques et de\nl\u2019informatique en particulier, s\u2019auto-former est un besoin prioritaire pour\n\u00eatre \u00e0 jour avec le monde. Et en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral cela n\u2019est pas le cas de la plupart d\u2019entre\nnous, ne nous limitant qu\u2019\u00e0 ce qui nous est donn\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019auditoire. Mais lorsque nous suivions les cours en ligne, le titulaire du cours\nd\u00e9posait le matin sur notre plateforme d\u2019enseignement (le \u00ab moodle \u00bb),\nle syllabus ou la partie \u00e0 exploiter, nous donnant le temps de les lire et\nde pr\u00e9parer nos questions pour les \u00e9changes dans l\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi. Je ne sais pas comment\nl\u2019enseignement en ligne se d\u00e9roule chez vous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cela m\u2019a habitu\u00e9 \u00e0 lire beaucoup et \u00e0 apprendre par moi-m\u00eame. Lorsque\nj\u2019avais besoin de plus de d\u00e9tails, au lieu de continuer la lecture et\nd\u2019attendre de poser au prof au moment des interactions la question qui me\npr\u00e9occupait, je faisais des recherches et me documentais encore plus par\nmoi-m\u00eame et j\u2019en d\u00e9couvrais peut-\u00eatre beaucoup plus que ce que le professeur\nm\u2019aurait r\u00e9pondu. Cela a laiss\u00e9 en moi cet esprit curieux et \u00e0 l\u2019aff\u00fbt du\nsavoir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous avons connu des moments durs. L\u2019adaptation au nouveau mode\nd\u2019enseignement n\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9 facile ni pour nos enseignants, ni pour nous, \u00e9tudiants,\net cela a cr\u00e9\u00e9 des d\u00e9bats interminables entre nous, \u00e9tudiants, des divisions au\nsein de l\u2019auditoire et m\u00eame au sein de l\u2019universit\u00e9 parce que certains\n\u00e9tudiants \u00e9taient pour cette m\u00e9thode et d\u2019autres non.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certains coll\u00e8gues te diront que c\u2019est la meilleure mani\u00e8re d\u2019\u00e9tudier uniquement\nparce que cela leur permet soit de rester \u00e0 la maison, soit de combiner cours\net boulot ou autres business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Et bien que notre universit\u00e9 se d\u00e9batte pour maintenir les cours durant\ncette pand\u00e9mie, ce dont je suis tr\u00e8s fi\u00e8re par ailleurs, le niveau de vie de la\npopulation africaine, congolaise et bukavienne en particulier, ne permet pas de\nrendre cette m\u00e9thode durable et efficace. Comme vous l\u2019avez soulign\u00e9 dans votre\nlettre, c\u2019est une gr\u00e2ce exceptionnelle que d\u2019avoir des parents qui peuvent\nt\u2019offrir un smartphone, un ordinateur, un iPad et ainsi que le forfait internet\njournalier ou mensuel qui te permettent de suivre les cours dans les meilleures\nconditions. Je peux vous assurer que certains de mes camarades n\u2019ont m\u00eame pas\nsuivi une fois les cours en ligne faute de moyens financiers ou mat\u00e9riels et d\u2019autres\nn\u2019en suivaient que rarement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais se pose encore un probl\u00e8me majeur : nos \u00e9coles secondaires et\nprimaires qui, \u00e0 ma connaissance, n\u2019ont pas pu se munir, jusque-l\u00e0, d\u2019une\napplication permettant de dispenser les cours en ligne. Le gouvernement a\ninstaur\u00e9 un horaire d\u2019enseignement \u00ab en ligne \u00bb sur les cha\u00eenes des\nt\u00e9l\u00e9visions locales ou nationales pour les \u00e9l\u00e8ves mais se pose le probl\u00e8me de\nces familles qui n\u2019ont pas de t\u00e9l\u00e9viseur, ni m\u00eame d\u2019installation \u00e9lectrique\ndans leur maison. Car je vous assure que ces familles existent non seulement\ndans nos villages mais m\u00eame en pleine ville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sans oublier ce que vous avez soulign\u00e9, l\u2019importance de la pr\u00e9sence non\nseulement entre \u00e9l\u00e8ves ou \u00e9tudiants mais aussi avec les enseignants parce que\nce sont tous ces moments de fou rire, de collaborations en pr\u00e9sentiel, de\nblagues qui font la joie de se rendre sur place et qui renforce les liens et\nfont de nous une seconde famille les uns pour les autres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais je suis de ceux qui pensent que, vue la pand\u00e9mie de la Covid-19 que\nni nous \u00e9tudiants et \u00e9l\u00e8ves, ni nos autorit\u00e9s acad\u00e9miques et politiques n\u2019avons\nd\u00e9sir\u00e9e, nous devrions nous battre et \u00e9voluer avec la situation qui nous est impos\u00e9e\nactuellement et nous adapter tant bien que mal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Face \u00e0 la crise que notre universit\u00e9 a travers\u00e9e, j\u2019ai propos\u00e9 \u00e0\ncertains des coll\u00e8gues qui n\u2019avaient pas la possibilit\u00e9 de suivre les cours, de\npasser \u00e0 la maison ou chez un des coll\u00e8gues proches pour les suivre avec lui en\nrespectant les r\u00e8gles barri\u00e8res recommand\u00e9es. Peut-\u00eatre trouverez-vous cela\n\u00e9go\u00efste mais que devrions-nous faire face \u00e0 cette situation ? Nous croiser\nles bras et laisser passer des mois, des ann\u00e9es peut-\u00eatre ? Juste parce\nqu\u2019il nous semble dur de nous adapter ? De mon point de vue, tout n\u2019est\nqu\u2019une question d\u2019organisation et de c\u0153ur assez compatissant pour penser aux amis\net aux coll\u00e8gues qui ne peuvent se permettre le luxe de suivre les cours tous\nles jours et de leur venir en aide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alors le fait que nos autorit\u00e9s essayent d\u2019adapter cette m\u00e9thode\nd\u2019enseignement \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle nationale ou m\u00eame mondiale sans tenir compte des\nentraves qu\u2019elle peut rencontrer, sans tenir compte de tout un chacun, est une\ndes choses qui rendent cette m\u00e9thode d\u2019enseignement non durable, non viable et moins\nefficace que le pr\u00e9sentiel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cher ami, j\u2019esp\u00e8re avoir r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 vos questions et si vous avez un avis\ncontraire \u00e0 une ou plusieurs de mes opinions cit\u00e9es ci-dessus, je serais\nenchant\u00e9e de vous entendre et de partager avec vous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amicalement,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clara Safi Nabintu

Hello friend, <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m so glad to hear from you. I hope you are doing well when this letter\nreaches you. This correspondence has given me a lot of food for thought so far.\nAnd it was nice to hear how you have tried to make the best out of the\nsituation at hand and to learn about the online teaching system in your\ncountry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to share with you some information about the structure of\nonline education in my country right now. It\u2019s actually quite similar to the\none in yours. The government has taken new initiatives and decided to broadcast\nthe classes on television and radio. And some private and social welfare\norganizations are also contributing by providing less privileged students with\nthe necessary resources to attend online classes. But again, as you pointed out\nin your letter, the benefits of such initiatives do not extend to a certain group\nof people, for example those who don\u2019t even have a television set at home. And\nin the backdrop of such a grim reality, it\u2019s hard to say that online education\nis sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I totally agree that one of the positive sides of the pandemic and this\nmode of education is the \u2018self-learning\u2019 process. I also learned a few things by\nmyself during the lockdown. Online learning puts a lot of onus on us to look\nafter our own education, and people who have the resources should step up,\nembrace themselves in this process and also help others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really liked how you mentioned helping out colleagues who do not have\nthe resources to attend the online classes by sharing with them. But adding to\nthat, some people, due to the fear of the pandemic, which is still quite active\nhere, may not be able to invite their colleagues to watch online classes\ntogether, but they could instead maybe share notes with them by mail. Or we could\nexplain the topics to them on the phone. My point is that once we are aware of\nhow things are, it\u2019s basic humanity to help those who cannot help themselves\nbecause we are blessed with such resources which enable us to do this. This is\nactually the time that we have to stand up for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paradigm of online learning is multifaceted, it reflects intricate\nlayers of our society, how it has been and how it functions. It would be\nignorant on the part of any of us to see this paradigm in the absence of those\nlayers. And so, with what it looks like currently, although online education is\nthe only way in the current circumstances, it really isn\u2019t sustainable and\ncannot be used in the long run because, if it was, it would lead to the exclusion\nof certain groups of people from the basic human right to education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would really like to hear your opinions on this. This topic is surely\nof great importance to you, me and everyone. Looking forward to your reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kind regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jyotsna Gupta
7-MARCH-2021, Delhi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ch\u00e8re Jyostna Gupta,<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bonjour et heureuse de vous lire \u00e0 nouveau. J\u2019esp\u00e8re que, de votre c\u00f4t\u00e9,\nla situation pand\u00e9mique s\u2019am\u00e9liore. Chez nous, nous nous battons pour essayer\ntant bien que mal de reprendre le cours normal de la vie malgr\u00e9 la pand\u00e9mie qui\ncontinue de faire des ravages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De ce fait, nous avons repris les cours en pr\u00e9sentiel mais nous avons\naussi des cours en ligne pour ceux dispens\u00e9s par des professeurs visiteurs.\nCertains s\u2019efforcent de faire le d\u00e9placement si leur pays de provenance le\npermet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Et comme vous l\u2019avez soulign\u00e9, si l\u2019enseignement en ligne n\u2019est pas une\nm\u00e9thode d\u2019\u00e9ducation durable bien qu\u2019\u00e9volutive et constituant la seule solution\nd\u2019enseignement adapt\u00e9e \u00e0 la pand\u00e9mie, il ne peut d\u00e9finitivement pas remplacer\nla p\u00e9dagogie en pr\u00e9sentielle. Car elle ne b\u00e9n\u00e9ficie qu\u2019\u00e0 une minorit\u00e9 des\n\u00ab privil\u00e9gi\u00e9s \u00bb au d\u00e9triment d\u2019une majorit\u00e9 qui n\u2019a pas les moyens\nn\u00e9cessaires pour s\u2019adapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hormis le probl\u00e8me financier pour certains, se posent aussi celui de la\nd\u00e9scolarisation physique. En allant en cours, il y a ce besoin non seulement\nscientifique mais aussi humain en termes de contacts, de\nrelations telles que l\u2019amiti\u00e9, l\u2019amour, la compassion, la confiance, etc.\nC\u2019est sur le banc de l\u2019\u00e9cole que se cr\u00e9ent les amiti\u00e9s les plus solides, des\npartenariats futurs, des couples, des connaissances et autres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J\u2019aime bien la m\u00e9thode mixte  adopt\u00e9e par les \u00c9mirats Arabes unis :\nl\u2019enseignement en ligne pour les parents qui ont les moyens et qui ne veulent\npas que  leurs enfants aient des contacts et l\u2019enseignement en pr\u00e9sentiel\npour les parents qui ne peuvent pas payer \u00e0 leurs enfants l\u2019enseignement \u00e0\ndistance mais qui toutefois peuvent continuer \u00e0 les envoyer  \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole comme\nd\u2019habitude tout en respectant les mesures barri\u00e8res, les enseignants \u00e9tant\nform\u00e9s en cons\u00e9quence. Il est \u00e0 noter que l\u2019enseignement en ligne n\u2019est pas une\nm\u00e9thode nouvelle dans ce pays mais il a seulement \u00e9t\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9ralis\u00e9 par l\u2019arriv\u00e9e\nde la pand\u00e9mie. Mais cela n\u2019est pas faisable dans la plupart des pays du tiers\nmonde et particuli\u00e8rement en R\u00e9publique D\u00e9mocratique du Congo, pour ne citer\nque mon pays, o\u00f9 la plupart des universit\u00e9s r\u00e9put\u00e9es du pays n\u2019ont m\u00eame pas pu\nd\u00e9buter l\u2019enseignement en ligne durant l\u2019ann\u00e9e acad\u00e9mique \u00e9coul\u00e9e. Cela demande\ndes moyens financiers et un progr\u00e8s technologique que la plupart de nos pays et\nuniversit\u00e9s ne poss\u00e8dent pas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En cette p\u00e9riode de pand\u00e9mie nous ne pouvons qu\u2019appeler \u00e0 la biens\u00e9ance\net \u00e0 l\u2019humanit\u00e9 de tous, de tout un chacun consciencieusement, ce n\u2019est plus uniquement l\u2019affaire de nos autorit\u00e9s\ngouvernementales, ni des organismes non gouvernementaux. C\u2019est un appel qui nous\nconcerne tous : avec le peu que nous pouvons poss\u00e9der ou faire, nous\npouvons grandement impacter sur la vie de  nombre de nos concitoyens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c7a a \u00e9t\u00e9 un grand plaisir pour moi d\u2019\u00e9changer\navec vous sur ce point qui est un des plans tournants de cette pand\u00e9mie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bien \u00e0 vous,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
