Abstract
School is a place where our children learn, play, run, laugh and talk to each other.Pandemic Covid 19, faced education systems around the world, with a challenge. This pandemic provided an opportunity to think about new environments for learning.Constant closure of schools, It is associated with the risk of harm to the younger generation. Of course, there is no safe way to reopen schools during an epidemic. Even when a country is controlled by COVID-19, there is no guarantee that schools will reopen safely. About a century ago, during an outbreak of tuberculosis, according to doctors' recommendations, classes were held outside the classroom. Thus in this research, we examined how other educational systems deal with the Covid 19 phenomenon. Evidence shows that outdoor education is an acceptable option. Moving classes to the outdoors, Not only in terms of better weather, but also to introduce public education on the ground,it can be seriously considered.
