Abstract: The pandemic coronavirus brought major disruptions to education between 2020 and 2022, giving an important role to online education/ learning. Attendance at online courses has largely depended on the existence of computer/laptop and internet connections. Family involvement in children’s education was crucial, sometimes being forced to assume the role of teachers. It is sad but thru that, the success of the children during this period largely depended on the financial situation of the parents. The unpreparedness of students in the online teaching and learning process from the beginning over time was replaced with quality and competency in the use of communication and technology. The need for teachers was underlined by the crisis. Virtual learning versus traditional in-person learning has been the favourite topic of debate for scientists in 2021. The detailed analysis of the weaknesses and strengths fills whole volumes, but most of them agree with one thing a strong education means combining them. Knowledge management in a virtual environment is difficult and requires a lot of attention and skills. The composition of the virtual pedagogical portfolio must be done in the interest of the students. Adapting the curriculum to local needs is a demand for a successful education, satisfied students who will be capable to assume a role in economic development. We must not lose sight of the fact that by 2022 over 50 million students are enrolled on the most popular online platforms. The development of a new educational system that is sustainable and equipped for all kinds of unexpected scenarios is a global necessity.
