More than 185 countries, areas or territories had been affected by the Corona outbreak The fast corona spread across the world made the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare COVID-19 a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The WHO suggested taking measures and most governments around the World implemented isolation/quarantine measures and temporarily closed educational institutions in the year 2020 to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic (Anderson, et al, 2020). The pandemic of COVID-19 has affected the work and education globally, with largest disruption of education systems. It has had an unprecedented impact on higher education worldwide concerning all its spheres.
