How COVID-19 Pandemic Affects Education

The Issue

As the Covid-19 pandemic posed an unprecedented challenge, higher education suspends face-to-face classes and moved toward remote learning. The unexpected change due to health crises forced students to adapt to new ways of learning that can potentially affect their academic. Students have been affected psychologically by school closures, lack of equipment to participate in courses, being unable to access online materials from home and being unable to leave home for a long time. Due to its contagious nature, COVID-19 demanded containment and enforced isolation that tremendously affected personal interaction of teachers and students. In the absence of traditional classroom teaching and one-to-one interaction, computer-based learning has emerged as closest substitute for off-line teaching.
