When the teacher is good at the subject, he won’t face any challenges. When he is not, he has to manage all the challenges. Educators today encounter several significant challenges that impact their ability to deliver effective instruction and support student learning.

1. Indiscipline of Students:
Student behaviour remains one of the major challenges to be tackled. This diversity in students’ backgrounds, coupled with several other factors developing a nonchalant attitude towards authority, makes it hard to instil discipline. Classroom disruptions hamper the smooth running of the learning process and add further pressure to teachers’ work. Effective strategies of classroom management are called for, but even the best teachers find that continuous indiscipline is tiring and distracting to the learning environment as a whole.

2. Lack of Classroom Facilities:
The learning environment should go hand in hand with adequate classroom facilities. However, many teachers are hamstrung by a lack of resources: old technology, insufficient seating, poor lighting, and an inadequate supply of basic materials. That can make it harder to effectively deliver modern techniques and methods of teaching and lower student class engagement. This puts teachers in a position to innovate with limited resources, which is often very time-consuming and less effective.

3. Lack of Proper Evaluation of Students’ Performance: Proper evaluation tells one about the progress of students and helps in tuning one’s instruction accordingly. But unfortunately, many educationists grapple with unsatisfactory systems of evaluation. Standardized testing often fails to capture the student’s learning, and at times it exerts pressure for ‘teaching to the test’ rather than an in-depth understanding of the subject under study. Moreover, big classes could not provide better-personalized feedback.

In addition to the lack of effective assessment tools, it cannot provide a rating of students’ effective performance and therefore does not show the areas that need to be improved. Though some challenges can be arrested by subject mastery in the final analysis, the educator has to steer through many odds that beset his or her path to effective teaching. Corrective steps needed are in the realm of problems of indiscipline, better infrastructure, adequacy of facilities in the classroom, and evolution of better evaluation methods to support the educator for better delivery and value addition for the student.

The ease of modern education has led to a mixed debate over the topic concerning its pros and cons for students. On the one hand, ease and accessibility brought about by technological advancements and new ways of teaching democratized learning: now, a broader spectrum of students can obtain knowledge and skills. At the same time, all these benefits are attended by possible ways in which they can prove disadvantageous, which should be weighed carefully.

1. Accessibility: Technology has made education available to a greater number of people. Online courses, digital libraries, and education platforms help students study from remote or deprived regions and access quality education.

2. Flexibility: Contemporary education systems provide flexibility in the learning schedule. Students can learn at their own pace and balance other commitments, like work or family.
3. Interactivity: Games, simulations, and multimedia products make learning more interactive. Gamification, virtual, and augmented reality are enriching the learning experience, making complex things simpler.

4. Personalization: Adaptive learning technologies facilitate educational material on a one-to-one basis, totally based on students’ needs. In such a way, each student will receive the help they need to succeed.
Disadvantages:
1. Quality Control: With online courses and educational content proliferating, lurking at the back of many minds is the fear regarding its quality and credibility. Not all online education platforms maintain rigorous academic standards, which sometimes paves the way for misinformation.
2. No Interaction: Where e-learning brings convenience, it lacks face-to-face interaction and immediate feedback like a traditional classroom setting. This may somewhat affect the students’ social skills and the depth of understanding.
3. Self-Discipline: The flexibility that modern education allows requires a great deal of self-discipline and motivation from the student. In the absence of a structured environment, it is possible that some students may not stay focused to finish their studies.
4. Digital Divide: Despite increased access, there is still the factor of a digital divide. Not all students have access to the technology that they need or strong connections to the Internet, which may deepen educational inequities.
Though ease in education in recent times has several benefits, the challenges involved in the process have to be overcome so that every student may avail its advantages. The ability to balance technology with traditional values in education and the capacity to have access on fair terms is very important when seeking to maximize its positive impacts on students.
