TVET E-learning in face of COVID-19

One of the most affected fields by COVID-19 outbrea is the education sector, which will affect the labor market, and this will affect the economic sector. In Iraq, as in all of the affected countries, education is depending now on the E-learning completely due to schools and universities closures, but the most challenge is how the TVET institutes will gain their students the required skills as demanded by labor market?, this may be very difficult to answer, because, and as every expert in education know, E-learning can cover knowledge only, while skills can not be covered except by real practice, in the laboratories, workshops, or workplaces, so, if this matter does not covered due to the pandemic, the labor market will sever from a wave of unskilled graduated people, and this will affect negatively the high demand on the products of 4th generation of industry. On the other hand, there is another required skills appeared due to COVED-19 outbreak, these are skills of working from home, so such skills may could be covered by E-learning. Thus, educational institutes must focus now on these skills which they may change the nature of work in the world even after the end of pandemic.
