James Bowen, assistant general secretary at school leaders' union NAHT, said: ‘It makes a lot of sense to look into modernising how exam results are handled and any moves to cut bureaucracy and costs are welcome. However, pupils will still receive a hard copy, and schools will continue to open as normal on results day to welcome pupils and give advice (pictured: a DfE prototype for the new 'Education Record' app) VR technology allows students to experiment and explore STEM concepts in ways that may not be feasible in a traditional classroom setting.

They can conduct virtual experiments, explore scientific phenomena, and test hypotheses in a risk-free environment. This freedom to explore encourages curiosity, creativity, and resilience when faced with challenges. The health sector was not prepared for this new disease and is still developing a vaccine to combat its spread. Therefore, the best prevention we can take as of now is to distant ourselves from others. However, a quick and effective response to the education disruption is important to avoid more damages to the education sector which also effects economy.

Benefits of STEM courses In STEM education, there are multiple opportunities where virtual reality plays a significant role. Adding VR into the curriculum can help medical students learn about the human body by enabling them to get inside the body and study. In addition, architects will be able to design in an immersive environment, chemistry students can practice lab skills in a safe and controlled environment. Here are some benefits of STEM Curriculum that help students to shape their future.

And they say it could sit in the new ‘gov.uk wallet' currently being designed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, which can be used for official digital documents such as drivers' licenses. Education minister Stephen Morgan said: ‘It is high time exam records were brought into the 21st century, and this pilot will allow schools and colleges to focus on what they do best: teaching the next generation rather than being bogged down in bureaucracy.' Education is one of the many sectors that are greatly affected by the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

The increasing number of people infected with the disease has forced schools to suspend their classes to protect students and school employees from being infected. Over 190 countries have closed their schools affecting more than 90% of the global student population. He added: ‘We believe this will reduce administrative burdens on schools, and in the future could also be utilised by parents of younger children to support transition from primary to secondary school.' STEM Education in virtual space It is important to note that while VR technology offers many advantages for developing problem-solving skills, it should complement traditional teaching methods.

A well-designed curriculum that combines virtual reality experiences with hands-on activities, discussions, and assessments is essential to maximize the benefits of STEM education using VR.
