- Abstract
As this paper is written in September 2020, the zoonotic-induced COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause major problems around the world, including in Education. The purpose of this paper is to suggest ways that students can prepare to turn the challenges caused by COVID-19 into positive changes for themselves, their teachers, and all the rest of the Earth’s inhabitants. After explaining and exemplifying the concept of pushed change, the paper delves into three pushed changes connected with COVID-19 and how these pushes can lead to changes which produce a brighter future for Education and all its stakeholders. These three pushed changes for the better are: (1) the rise and spread of online learning; (2) actions to address climate weirding; and the use of cooperative learning to promote social cohesion.
