ANALYSIS ON THE EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ON THE EDUCATION SYSTEM AND ITS RESPONSE: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Globally, the school sector has been significantly impacted by the Covid-19 epidemic. One of the first steps governments took to stop the virus's spread was to shut down schools, colleges, and institutions. More than 1.5 billion pupils were impacted as a consequence, which disrupted study and forced the cancellation of examinations. The results of pupils' learning have been significantly impacted by school closures. Students who do not have access to computers or the internet are unable to take part in online learning. Therefore, this crisis requires urgent attention and concerted action by all governments, stakeholders and society. The Covid- 19 pandemic is affecting education at all levels. Educational institutions around the world (192 countries) have either quickly entered or forcibly closed regions, affecting an estimated 1.7 billion people worldwide. Therefore, this paper aims to explore and highlight the implications and challenges of moving from physical education to online learning in the context of the Covid- 19 pandemic in developing countries.
