The coronavirus pandemic has spurred major shifts in how people work, learn, entertain, and access public services.
The bulk of this change has been achieved thanks to digital technologies, as the spread of work from home, distance learning, telemedicine and the provision of government services via the Internet.
Universal access to secure, high-quality, affordable Internet connectivity enables resilient social and economic development and has become a critical infrastructure for cities and rural areas alike.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also shown that digital supply chains and logistics are more resilient during crises and more sustainable in providing work and learning services.
By approaching this case with the Syrian case during the period of the Corona pandemic, we find that the digital capacity of public and private institutions, whether educational or economic, productive and service, was at its minimum, and its technological flexibility was weak.
The pre- and higher education sector, with the exception of the virtual university, was never prepared to deal digitally with the educational results of the Corona pandemic, which led to the closure and suspension of education in public and private universities and higher institutes alike, accompanied by the weakness of the logistical support system accompanying the education process. Quality in internet and electricity services.
The labor market has also faced a failure in digital dealing with the pandemic, specifically in the public sector, where government services and the work of public administrations have almost stopped and only basic services that were previously automated were provided.
Therefore, the development of the e-government work system in terms of the labor market and education is imperative in order for education and work processes not to stop during any crisis that affects the economy and society later on.
It seems that investment in this system is currently more important than any other type of investment, as technology ensures the continuity of the economy’s work.
