Coronavirus-19 has become the largest problem of the world, which humanity was not faced 
since the Second World War of the last century. It brought many consequences and changes in peo-
ple’s life, because of pandemic regime. In addition to the fact that Covid-19 carried a bulk of people’s 
life as a sacrifice, it played a great role in diminishing of economy, causing global crisis, depression, 
and social disruption. This subsequently has led to the development of “online education”.
Online Education became a part of every student in 2019-2021. It is an online training that I 
want to consider in this article. I want to explore whether it has more advantages or disadvantages. 
To make this article more objective, I have decided to conduct a small survey among teachers and 
students of Uzbekistan, the results of which will be equipped in this article.
In this paper, the following aspects is to be described: 
• 
What is online education?
• 
What is the main aim and purpose of online education?
• 
Benefits and drawbacks of online education
• 
The outcome of Online Education
Online Education – is a type of education where students are studying without needlessly going 
outside by help of their computers or mobile phones. With aid of networking, students may easily 
connect with their teachers and start their studies. 
The principal mission of studying online is to have an opportunity to manage time effectively and 
studying without leaving home, which was utilized during the quarantine period. It teaches students 
to try to earn lots of knowledge no matter where they are, and which opportunities they have. 
Online Education or so-called “e-education” has a large number of advantages. Let me list in 
order all these pluses: 
• 
It is time-saving, because online learning does not have a clear schedule, students can easily 
adjust their daily routine while not excluding something they like from their day. Also, it gives a good 
opportunity to work and study at the same time. Of course, this was not possible during the pandemic, 
since all work was stopped, but do not forget that there is also such a thing as online earnings, which 
allows you to work even on such difficult days as the coronavirus start to develop day by day. 
“For me, a student working in conjunction with studies, distance learning has brought a lot of 
conveniences. With its help, I was able to easily combine work and study in my schedule.” - says one 
of the students of YTIT.
• 
Comfort-zone. A large number of people suffer from the so-called disease as a fear of leaving 
the comfort zone. Many people overdo it, but most of them remain in their wrapper without leaving

their little room. It is in such situations that online learning comes to the rescue. You can learn and 
develop in whatever conditions you want without leaving your comfort zone.
“I am introverted and I do not like to spend a large amount of my time outside. For me, staying at 
home is a big pleasure, that is why I like Online Education. Coronavirus helped me realize that online 
education is my element and I decided to move to the position of an online teacher” - reported one of 
the Professors of Vosik’s school teachers. 
• 
Saving money. Let us think logically. If people study at home, they will no longer require 
transport and street food, which in turn leads to saving pocket money in everyday life. 
• 
Individualization. Online learning also gives a huge chance to learn much more effectively, 
the reason for which is the individual approach to each student. In the normal learning mode, it is 
not always possible to draw the attention of every student and not every student can be heard, and in 
online learning everyone will be endowed with the teacher’s time.
We can list many pluses of distance learning, but since there are two sides of a coin, and in this 
case, one also cannot do without disadvantages. 
My little survey shows that most of the students do not like e-education because of the challenges 
in understanding the curriculum. I was interested in it. Why students study worse in online lessons 
than in offline? I concluded that during online learning, all responsibility goes to the student himself, 
which presents difficulties in learning. This is the main disadvantage of distance learning.
«I am a person who finds it difficult to study, I have always needed an individual approach from 
the teacher. During the quarantine, it was very difficult for me to learn the previous material» - says 
a student of school №107.
Social networking. Communication is what students are deprived of students in distance learning. 
The curriculum always includes group projects in which students need to work together, but this does 
not occur in online education. Also, when students communicate with each other, make new friends, 
they broaden their horizons and form their worldview.
All lessons in every school or university were conducted on network platforms like Zoom, Moo-
dle, and Kundalik.uz. These apps are very easy to use and understand, but they have some minuses. 
For instance, in Moodle or on Kundalik.uz it needs time to load a homework, and in Zoom barely 
as possible to hear a teacher’s words because of noise of group mates. From my experience of online 
studying, I remember that I always could not hear teachers, especially in streaming classes. These 
problems are not always associated with the application itself, but also, accordingly, with the Inter-
net. Everyone knows that the Internet of the highest quality is not provided in Uzbekistan, and do not 
forget a fact about emergencies like turning off the light, which in turn contributes to breaking the 
connection with the teacher.
One of the drawbacks of the online classes is the probability of having negative effects on human 
health. Everyone knows that the frequent use of technology leads to a deterioration of human health. 
Another disadvantage that I accidentally discovered I was researching this topic is the difficulties 
of educating handicapped children. One teacher at a special school for mentally handicapped children 
says: «In our school, it was almost impossible to work offline as our children do not have the op
-
portunity to study in that order. Of course, it is difficult to work with a child with mental disabilities 
online as they require an individual approach. Our main help during the pandemic was the parents of 
our students, we gave all the instructions for studying to the parents, and they, in turn, worked with 
their children. Our children require a special approach from professionals and of course their parents 
could not replace our work. This contributed to the degradation of many of our students, and from the 
beginning of the offline lessons, we had to work twice to catch up on the missed knowledge. »
It is almost impossible for people with disabilities to study online as they need an individual ap-
proach. All the same, in such cases, online training has a big disadvantage.
Overall, according to my survey more than 87.3% of people versus online learning because of 
many factors, while another 12.7% enjoy studying online. “Whatever success we make in life, every

one of us always gratefully acknowledges your invaluable input into these achievements,” Shavkat 
Mirziyoyev told teachers and mentors in one of the ceremonies. I believe that no modern and conve-
nient technology can replace live communication and learning face-to-face with a teacher. For thou-
sands of years, people have used this way of learning and it seems to me that we should not replace 
our classical learning with new technologies.
