As students all across the globe prepare to transition from in-person classes to online classes as a result of the deadly coronavirus, students in China are beginning to face some pretty strict internet censorship. Many students and teachers in China are finding that video lectures, pictures, and even whole courses are beginning to be censored, or outright removed, from online platforms. The Chinese government claims that online content for classes are being censored for “violating internet regulations”. This has left students and teachers in China clueless about what they can and cannot discuss in their classes online. How are teachers going to educate their students through these online classes if the content is just going to be deleted?
I don’t understand how the Chinese government expects students to get a quality education in their online classes if they continue to censor the material and content that students are allowed to see. For example, how is a human anatomy teacher suppose to teach their students if they can’t show them images of human anatomy online? Considering the unique situation that the world is in right now in the face of the coronavirus, I would think that the Chinese government would implement some kind of law that would make internet censorship less strict especially for the purpose of education. By heavily censorsing online content being used to teach students in China, the Chinese government is unfairly depriving students of a quality education.
